Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2014

8.9

Light peach and floral with hint of smoke hays on the nose. Profound minerality weaves through a round and slight waxy palate, with a long spicy and salty finish. I don’t drink Chenin Blanc often, but with a bit bottle age, this bottle is showing very nice. — 5 years ago

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Strawberry nose. Cooked strawberry in the glass. Low alcohol and classic California fruit. Fruit forward but well balanced with good acidity. A good one for a great price if you like this style. — 8 years ago

Rancho Chimiles Vineyard Valdiguié

Beautiful garnet color with flashes of magenta. Ripe fruit on the nose with a hint of radish. Medium bodied, a little puckery and not overly sweet. Carbonic glou glou, as a reviewer said before. — 5 years ago
