Vista Verde Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2018

Crisp nose of unripe pear, honey and lime on the nose. Baked honey crisp apple, white flower, slight petrol on the palate. Lovely minerality and sense of terroir in this wine. — 5 years ago

Methode Sauvage

Iruai Shasta-Cascade Trousseau Blend 2019

Very Beaujolais-like. Lots of juicy pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, and a bit of grape. Rose and violet potpourri, vintage lipstick, crushed oyster shell minerality. Bright, lifted, and very pretty with subtle chalky tannins. (This review is for the 2019 Iruai Shasta-Cascade) — 5 years ago

Franciscan Estate

Cuvée Sauvage Napa Valley Chardonnay 2013

Ming L
9.2

With wild yeast fermentation (hence the name cuvée sauvage) and 16 months in French barrel, a rich and plush chard was to be expected. Ripe pear, lime, apple pie, chrysanthemum tea, and touch of roasted almond. Soft creamy palate with vivid acidity. Oak is very well integrated, and by no means it’s oaky. A bit heat at the end, but overall complex and well balanced.
As with the winery’s Napa cab, they don’t make this bottling anymore. A pity.

Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2007

#1000th Review# One of my all time favorite, this can easily crush many Amarone. Very young, no signs of tertiary notes at all. Sweet and warm spices, raisin, sweet cherries, mocha, dark chocolate and bright acidity. Best on day 2, very smooth texture. 15% abv and it’s well balanced. Wish I have more in the cellar! — 5 years ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2012

Nose has blackberry, burnt toast, blueberry jam, milk chocolate, warm dark chocolate cake, voilets, ripe plum and wet leather.

Palate has blueberry/blackberry jam, toasty oak, dark chocolate, rehydrated raisin, ripe blueberry and ripe plum. Tannins are mild, but resilient.

This bottle will drink easily past its 10th birthday without concern, and then some. I really love this style of wine, the concentration of flavors is second to none.

Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2010

2.5 years of aging. This is fantastic. Chewy plum and raisin with fresh cut herbs, pepper, and smoke. This is in a really good spot right now but I’m not convinced it can go the distance. — 6 years ago
