Little G Washington State Grenache 2018

Savory and sweet. Strawberry, sweet herbs, pomegranate, and citrus oil. Balanced and fresh. Sean Boyd gets his Grenache right and the ‘16 is no exception. — 5 years ago

Domaine Henry Pellé

Menetou-Salon Morogues Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

Nose has mashed cherries, orange peel, tangerine flesh, ripe green melon, ripe peach, dry sandstone and hay.

Palate has tart strawberry, tart cherry, lime wedge, grapefruit peel, (minor) under-ripe yellow melon, dry-sandy soil with a long finish.

Acidity is amazing, even better than the fresh (current) bottles! Light tannins with faintly drying finish. I'm glad this is a rosé that gets plentiful purchasing in our household, as a couple vintage wait is highly rewarding. Unfortunately we're almost to the end of our '17's, scant reminants in the cellar. 😔 Total happiness delivered at $15!

Los Carneros Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Lots of mineral on the nose and an ever so subtle bit of jam there at the end. I wish I could make this an everyday drinker. h/t to Chris Leon for the bottle! — 5 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Baden Pinot Noir 2017

Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.

Nose has smashed cherries, orange peel, clove, cigar box and (minor) dried strawberry.
Palate has tart cherry, ripe cherry, cherry/strawberry Fruit Roll-up®, amazing acidity with a medium finish and tannins; What a great/fun wine!

Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

It’s funny. I used to really only enjoy the Howell Mountain. And then I had the 2013 Mt Veeder. It wasn’t as green as previous Veeders and has such a full body and luxurious mouthfeel, I fell in love with it. Amazing right now. @Sean Capiaux - Great job! — 5 years ago

Mendocino Carignan 2018

Best Carignan I’ve had. So drinkable but great complexity, excellent with food or without. Some cherries, anise, hint of cream, brick/dirt, good tannin. Probably has a lot of time in the bottle to age. — 5 years ago
