Amador County Chenin Blanc 2017

Oh snap! The 2017 Amador County is an absolute cracker served at cellar temperature. Please don’t make the mistake of chilling these. On the nose, it’s stone fruits, lanolin and some sort of citrus blossom I think...it was was floral but I couldn’t pin it down. On the palate, this danced with minerals and a tongue smacking finish. Light and yet such a performer. A hit with everyone. Drink now or hold. — 7 years ago

Rödelseer Küchenmeister Trocken Sylvaner 2017

Sugar snap peas and buttercream on the nose. Good minerals, good acidity, structure, linearity. Some grapefruit zest on the tongue and a lanolin, waxy finish. If this were my house white I’d guzzle this stuff. I need to see how it develops with some years in the cellar. — 6 years ago

Komodo Dragon

Columbia Valley Red Blend 2014

V14. Young wine. Starts out with fresh crushed bright cherry juice bouquet. Nice tart Grenache like fruit. Within an hour the bouquet became toasty, and the fruit deepened to an peppery, blackberry an earthy mix. Unbalanced, absolutely, but every sip was actually enjoyable.
Will obviously open up and balance out to a deeper styled wine.

Dragon God Ginjo Namazume

Ginjo sake is one rank less purified than Daiginjo. This sake is very peach fruity sweet and is perfect for a sweet tooth like me. Recommended for sake beginners. Serve cold. — 6 years ago

Cedarman Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2016

9.0

Cedarman is blend of Rattlesnake and Dragon vineyards, a zin with a 20% helping of petite sirah. On pnp this exhibits an intoxicating nose and you can just sense the plush palate ahead. Dark cherry, brambly and full bodied. This is a great value and delicious. Oh, and it went great with 🍕! — 7 years ago

Domaine du Vissoux / Pierre-Marie Chermette

Les Garants Fleurie Gamay 2014

A few years ago bought several bottles thinking I could medium age a few while I dipped in and out of tasting them. Now only one bottle left. Oops. I like best how its drinking now, has a nice acidic snap, had a broad, ungainly tomato-ey tone which now feels fresh & terroir specific, ie, red fruits incl wild raspberries & strawberries. Has the Beaujo straightforwardness I cherish. Weygandt imp. — 8 years ago
