Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

A classic from Napa, this 1999 Martha's Vineyard is definitely past its prime, but still a pleasure to drink. The tannins have largely disappeared (but made for a great match with a fantastic cut of filet mignon from the local butcher). Most of the primary aromas are gone, but some great secondary notes of leather and spice remain (the absence of the tell-tale eucalyptus from Martha's was a bit surprising). Color density is still pretty impressive after almost 17 years! Finishes a bit thin, but this wine has held up beautifully. Had an amazing tasting with David Heitz back in 2005 and this brings back all those memories. Cheers to one of the pioneering wine families of Napa Valley! — 9 years ago

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

Roel van der Burg
9.6

From an A+ vineyard, on the St. Aubin side of the Montrachet hill. Next to the Chevalier Montrachet parcel, but with a different exposure (south-west instead of south-east). Energetic Burgundy from a rising star domaine (especially since son Olivier took over in 1995). — 10 years ago

Farr Rising

Geelong Chardonnay 2013

Straw gold in colour, peach and butterscotch on the palate; the fruit, oak and acid in perfect balance with a beautiful mouthfeel. A lovely wine and would reward another couple of years in the cellar. 92 pts. — 10 years ago

Julien Pilon

Prisme Hermitage Marsanne 2012

White Hermitage from one of the rising stars of the Northern Rhone Valley. A great expression of the Marsanne grape. Stonefruit, honey, white flowers with a full and almost lanolin texture on the palatte. A subtly sweet nut butter finish. Only a few dozen cases exported to the US. — 10 years ago

Fantastic wine. Linne always delivers. — 8 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Minerality on minerality. Yet unmistakably Raveneau depth, density, complexity & expression. Especially, the latter as the Raveneau cellar expression / signature sings. Only gets better with air and rising temperature, until it's gone of course. Thank you to one of our favorite guests for sharing tonight! — 9 years ago

Domaine Ramonet

Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1990

Med gold in the glass. Viscous and heavy. Rich stone fruits in the nose. Tell tale mint that says Ramonet. In the mouth the fruit is powerful. Let it under your tongue and your face goes flush. Lemon, honeysuckle, crushed stone, mint in the mouth. Great finish. This is in a great window. — 10 years ago

Michel & Stéphane Ogier (d'Ampuis)

La Rosine Syrah 2011

A gorgeous bouquet of violets came rising immediately on the first pour, bursting into my nose showing only a hint of barbecue sauce and what's to come. 30 minutes later bacon was grilling in the glass and smoke was rising in billowing clouds of invisible aroma. Fuck ya. Always over delivers, this one. Cote rotie throw aways? Yes please and thanks! — 10 years ago

Colli Scaligero Castelcerino Soave Garganega 2012

Susan Lin
9.0

The evolution of this fresh and zesty, yet full bodied Soave over an hour was like reading a riveting tale full of twists! Starting with green apples, pears, grapefruit rind and what seemed like toast evolved into sour apples, orange marmalade, biscuit and even a touch of caramel. Smooth texture and nice balance of acid to voluptuous body. — 10 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Oh yeah, Raveneau! Heading out soon on a wineless trip (though I might whine), so I opened this on a whim and it stuns. Essence of Chardonnay with incredible minerality, acidity, intensity, focus--citrus zest magnified. Screaming for oysters, the wine has to be happy with just us drinking it. Great wine rising above its premier cru status. — 8 years ago

du Dessus Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Claude Riffault

Les Chasseignes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Nice and balanced wine with medium high alcohol 13% abv. Herbaceous notes with lime skin notes, grassy character and some buttery, oaky aromas going stronger with temperature rising. 50% fermentation in barriques. Quite complex and interesting wine, not your average Sancerre. — 10 years ago
