Walla Walla Valley Sangiovese 2011

Very much a New World Sangiovese, this bottle from Walla Walla Valley is still quite tasty. It has a big nose of cherries, smoke, and spice. Upon opening, the taste is very sharp but softens after decanting. The palate consists of oak and butterscotch, but the deep dark fruits steal the show. After the wine has had time to open up, the flavored of ripe cherries and leather display the best characteristics of the juice. The finish shows well integrated tannins and those typical Tuscan spicy notes. — 11 years ago

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). — 11 years ago

Memorista Lone Star Vineyard Riesing 2011

Really amazing zing from acid only to be counter balanced with just the right amount of RS. Honeycomb, Meyer lemon zest, Thai basil, and kafir and apricot stone fruit with a touch of petrol. Focused palette with full mouthfeel weight and length. — 11 years ago
