Skeleton Key

Cakebread Cellars

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2015

During the party I would have given this an 8.9. But as leftovers 2 nights later found in the back of the fridge... it brought on deeper dimensions of key lime pie etc. delicious. — 7 years ago

Medici Vineyard Riesling 2014

Stupid good single-site Riesling from the Chehalem Mountains. Impeccable balance. Could totally see calling this as a high-quality Nahe kabinett if blinded on it but at the same time it still has a distinctly Oregonian aura about it. Nose of ripe nectarine, key lime, and honeydew, pure, slate-y wet stone minerality, cherry blossom, subtle cardamom and nutmeg spice, and just a touch of petrol starting to show. Palate echoes the nose, channeled through bracing high acid and an extra layer of flinty mineral focus. Moderate concentration, medium (-) body but with great texture from neutral oak fermentation and elevage and possibly some lees influence as well. As referenced above, sweetness is comparable to some of the less sweet German kabinett wines; delightfully off-dry. Deliciously quenching. Gonna hoard a couple bottles of this because I'd love to see how this fares with a bit more development in bottle. — 8 years ago

Man, I love this wine. My 2nd time having the 2004, and it's just stellar. I wrote down cinnamon and sweet/pastry/tart (in a very good way)...and went to look at my old review, which said cinnamon and key lime. Well damn, how's that for consistency! — 8 years ago

Royal City Washington Syrah 2009

A very refined, low key Royal City syrah. Some of the usual gamey funk, but not the usual powerful fruit intensity. The blueberry and fig fruit is present and very nice, yet subdued relative to some vintages of this NW classic. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Notes of peach, melon, and honey notes dominate with a hint lemon and key lime that lingers. A touch of wet slate minerality with a long finish. Not as crisp and citrusy as many SBs, a very smooth mouthfeel. — 8 years ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2010

Superb. This is why I like wine. Like walking into a vegetable garden when you stick ya nose in. Herbaceous and minerally with leaping currant fruit and juicy raspberries. Oak provides an oozing finish. Just a bit of funk but in a tactful manner like Mark Ronson. Acidity gives nice skeleton. — 10 years ago
