Ellis Alden Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015

This wine possess a great deal of potential. The vineyard has the capability too. Honey, melon and a coated citrus fruit marries with bright acidity. A medium bodied wine. @Palmer Emmitt @Paul T @Martin G Rivard @Connor McMahon @Terri Walker @TheSkip @Warren Sapp @Terri Walker @Eric S @Jacqueline @Vanessa D @Jim Trobaugh @Jody Scharf @David L @Vanessa D @Eric S @Neal Schaffer @Bill Bender @Ian Blackburn — 8 years ago

Clos Bagatelle

Veillée d'’Automne Saint-Chinian Syrah Blend 2010

Smells like the sidewalk in front of Sparks after Paul Castellano got capped, tastes like blueberry covered roast meat with herbs sprinkled with granite dust, ending in a long bloody finish. Who says St Chinian doesn't age? — 10 years ago

@Isaac Pirolo I think Sebastiani is a great example. I have found some of Charles Smith to be great and some to be fairly weak for the price, especially under K vintners. Equally with Melville - inconsistent. But that's just my two cents.

@TheSkip i should stay out of this but just wanted to through another winery into consideration - Orin swift - most recently they have had good results on most of their wines and I like K Vint too - not going to try mollydockers sub 50 for trust your opinion greatly

Lachini Vineyards

La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010

This wine has just about everything I like in Sonoma Coast Pinots - a great nose with earth, mushroom, floral notes. The palate had just enough red fruit with wonderful complexity and a long finish. Thanks @Shawn Paul I got this from you a few years ago at D&D. — 9 years ago

@Rob Brobst III : Though it's no longer the same name, the new property (Brasswood) has their own label...Cab that is Coombsville fruit and a Chardonnay. Haven't had either, but hear good things. Some rockin labels make their wine there like Montagu, Addax and Moone-Tsai 👌

Château Figeac

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Wow. This is full of cedar box and smoke, dark fruit, that french terroir of scorched earth, its medium body with smooth tannins. Decanted 1 1/2 hours.
I've had several vintages of Figeac and this one is a no nonsense vintage. Peaking in the next 1-3 years? Like my location Paul?
