Prism

Kalin Cellars

Cuvée CH Sonoma County Chardonnay 1995

Matt Perlman
9.0

Rich, nutty, vanilla, brown butter, mildly oxidative, baked spiced orchard fruit--this is definitely not your lean mineral driven non-malo style--yet all that ripeness and flavor is offset by a palpable acidic core with smokey flinty finish. Like Chablis and Meursault together filtered through a Sonoma prism. It's a lot but it works. Very cool that he holds these this long before release — 8 years ago

I know of no other producer that has his financial fortitude and strong philosophy to hold back his wined as long as he does. #RESPECT

@David T and they don't disappoint either, magic in a bottle every time I enjoy one.

@Severn Goodwin As good as the Chardonnays are, really enjoy his Cabernets.

2009. Malbec through the prism of WA. Tannins well resolved, and great accompaniment to dessert with Velvet Underground Loaded and Jeff Buckley Grace. — 10 years ago

Béarn Tannat Blend 2012

Courtney Cochran
9.7

Oh snap! This white made from 100% Raffiat de Moncade is a siren with salty-nutty-cheesy nuances spiked with lemon-oil and sunflower-melon swagger. Golden. Leonine. Like sunlight and love shot through a prism. #believeit — 12 years ago

Sure you are talking about the same wine? The tannat blend I drank was red!
