X Novo Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Smoky reduction dissipates w air, but not much. An off-putting sweetness emerges like burnt coconut. Not flabby but could lose a few Kgs. — a day ago

Dollar for dollar, the best producer of CA Pinot Noir.

Dark cherries, plum, blackberries, black raspberries, mid berry cola/licorice, hint of eucalyptus, dark, rich soil, dry, crushed rocks, limestone, soft; clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt me grilled meats,soft smokiness, mix of dark & red flowers with violets. Round acidity with balance, smartly polished elegance with a finish that lasts 90 seconds and falls evenly on earth & fruits.

La Combe Verte Pinot Noir 2021

Pretty good. A lot of earth, berries on the nose. Baking spice, more earth and herbs. But fruit shows throughout. Way better in day 2 of being open. — a month ago

Nose is a spice bomb. Dried, desiccated leaves. Some mid season cherry, wet earth and everything about the nose says aged but with some youthful vigor. Palate is lush and rich, really good, with great concentration and freshness. Nimble and with wonderful acidity and such purity. Velvety sweet tannins and so focused. This is drinking so well. Terrific sweetness and love the classical structure. Long finish and still got some fuel to burn. Even better in 5-8 years. With air this gets so juicy and the energy really shines through. Wow the elegance shines through after 2 hours. 9.5 now. — 2 months ago

More oak than I typically like. Still, good minerality and acidity. This wine is about power. — a day ago

Vintage 2012 | If any bottle tries to fall out of the climate cabinet, I won’t show any mercy - even when it’s Merkelbach. The verdict is: drink it. — 2 months ago
