Château Grand-Pontet

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Dark ruby red color with very nice aromas of cherry, licorice, and oak on the nose. Full-bodied togethet with very nice flavors of blackberry, cherry, coffee, and pepper on the palate. Dry, silky tannins, and sustainable length. Straight forward but delicious. — 7 years ago

True Myth Winery

Paragon Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway.

"Les Petites Bruyères" Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2014

"Marie-Pierre's family has been making wine in the Macon since 1871 and her sustainable vineyards yield some really beautiful, terroir-driven white Burgundies of exceptional value. Her elegant Saint-Véran Chardonnay is super clean and precise, with great minerality and acidity and the tiniest oak influence that just slightly soften out the edges. I love a wine that tastes more expensive than the price tag it wears, and this Chard totally slays! Pair with these quesadillas I recipe-tested last night, or simple charcuterie and fromage. $18" — 8 years ago
