La Proportion Dorée Sonoma County Sémillon Blend 2018

Shay A
9.4

Last bottles from a 6-pack. I had two bottles that were sadly riddled with EA, but the other four were sound.

This was one of the wines I served for my annual WWC hosting. All wines served blind.

65 semillon/ 34 Sauvignon Blanc/ 1 Muscadelle

Always love these, more so than most domestic Bordeaux Blanc style white wines, mostly because of the texture. Straw color in the glass. Quite the tropical aromatics (white peach, mango) but it’s not overpowering. The barrel ferment is apparent with the rounded profile on the palate…the vein of acidity that was there a few years ago is fading, so this showed even more opulent than normal. Honeyed lemon, guava, orange blossom but a backbone of sea salt and herbs snap the structure in place to show nice balance and a nod to Bordeaux. I’d recommend popping now and over the next couple years to enjoy the freshness.

Les Petits Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 vintage. So close to a 9.5, you can taste it. Medium-heavy body. Sexy and voluptuous without any corresponding flabbiness. Smooth and decadent with just enough backbone to (barely) keep this grounded. Btg at $35 a glass here in the next week. 4.1.26. — 2 months ago

Really enjoy Luc’s work. Especially, the style of his 2018 Cabernet’s. Quite beautiful. Hopefully, bump into he and his wife this weekend at Pebble. Wonderful couple and wine trade ambassadors.

Joli Coeur Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. First go-round with this wine. Winery produces “pretty” wines and this is no different. Medium-medium heavy bod. Consistent, smooth push with dried cranberry leading the charge. No heart-stopping or scary moments. Enjoyable. 3.13.26. — 2 months ago
