I’ve run out of the wine that I brought with me so I headed to Total Wine (an essential business during the city shutdown) to replenish the stash. This was one of the buys. I visited Chappelet during Premier Napa Valley for the Pritchard Hill tasting. Really liked the high end lineup so I thought I would give this a try. Had with Fresco Cafe Italiano take away. — 6 years ago

Compared to a 2008 Bollinger Grand Annee, the complexity here and overall mouthfeel outdid the Bolly. I was wondering what everyone was crowding around in the back room, but quickly figured it out. Pours to a light pale straw hue. Nose of creme brulee and cashew. Entry with small bubbles. Very oxidative style and does not care what you think about that! Does not have high acid. I was getting peaches and pears, with a nice oxidative bready creaminess with a rather smooth and long tiny bubble finish. Wow. Doing WELL. — 7 years ago

Had the petit the other night, so I was of course tempted to get the main show. 2003 was the oldest I had available so I went for it, and let me tell you.. if you have any in your cellar, I think they'll see another 5-10 years, but baby, the acid is perfect and the flavors are almost fully mature. A lovely intoxication of apricot jam, honey/molasses, decayed hydrangeas, and slight nuttiness on the nose. The pallet was lush and velvety, exhibiting notes of honey, orange blossom, dried apricots, dried pineapples, nutmeg, vanilla, and a bright, but not quite zippy finish. I need more of this..it was spectacular. — 9 years ago

Super in to it. Quite honestly when my vendor started blabbing on about bio-dynamic, organic blah blah I just tuned him out. It has a spicy greenness to it, almost vegetable character that is really appealing. It is very well balanced and just straight up complex in an a fun way. — 10 years ago

Yet another splendid Sancerre! This one isn't as deeply marked by flinty flavor as I typically like, but it makes up for this with a terrific and balanced grapefruit/gooseberry core. The acidity of the citrus transitions to light minerality on the tail end, leading to a long-lasting and satisfying finish. — 11 years ago

Beautiful mildly lemony aroma. Fresh, with medium body so it felt too 'heavy' when I paired it with a pesto pasta. But fabulous with a cheese & ham quiche. — 12 years ago

The 17’ seems to have high percentage of Chard (I believe it’s normally around 30-35%) than the previous vintages I tasted. Stone fruits dominants the fruit profile and it feels more buttery, though aromatics and texture still shows some characters of the Rhone varieties. Quite nice still. — 5 years ago

Always and forever my favorite grower (that I have frequently enough). Here, his entry level bottle from 2014 vintage. Always single vineyard, single variety and single vintage. Wonderful intensity and really solid complexity. Baked pears and golden apples, spices and flowers. Finishes with very good length and depth. Never ceases to impress. — 6 years ago

Loved this showing, a very classy and expressive wine, all finesse and complexity. Aging glacially, still so youthful in the glass, I could see this needing another 5-8 before fully relaxing. My favorite part about these wines is the texture and harmonious acid, which melds into the wine from front to back. There’s never anything overt, sharp, or obtrusive, and the transition the wine makes across the palate is seamless. Texturally engaging, theres well confined oak and phenolics adding dimension. Bergamot, ripe green apple, asian pear, green pineapple, lime blossom, damp chalk, button mushrooms, chervil, sweet tarragon, cream, a slight touch of spring honey. — 7 years ago

1979 Clos Du Mesnil. What do you do when you are confronted with a legendary wine? You hope it doesn’t disappoint. At Pages in Paris today, Tomo delighted us with this outstanding bottle. Medium golden hue. The nose was to die for: fresh, white flower, chalk and honeyed - alluring and forever changing in the glass while keeping its freshness. Hints of truffle wafted away within minutes. What seemed like an impossible dream of the ultimate Champagne remained intact. Fine but persistent bubbles, huge but balanced concentration with a refreshing, zesty acidity and a finish I can still taste an hour and a half after having drained the last few precious drops of this legend. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible. 100 points. Don’t be afraid to open now or in 20 years. — 8 years ago

@Keith Fisher and his wife were kind enough to open this after I asked what their thoughts were. I received the Save the Date email this week for their upcoming release and it seems as though they are striving to be the first cult bubbly out of Cali.

This '12 is still very tart at opening. In fact, it was mainly green Granny Smith Apple with a kick of kiwi and that was it. However, after an hour and a half, a creamy note came out of this and more almonds, toasted bread and more complexity. At the 2-hr mark, this was actually extremely delicious. Based on this, I'll definitely buy a few bottles but aim to let them age AND have some air time before enjoying. — 9 years ago

2004 vintage. Dom Ruinart. Blanc de Blancs. With Freddy Panaiotos. Pale lemon. Chardonnay profile - lemon, grapefruit, fresh fruit. On the palate, rich and slightly musty wood and earthy. Good bubbles. Nice finish and lemony length that goes on for a minute or so. However I think this bottle is not showing well. — 11 years ago
