Wine X Sam

Trader Moon

Moon X California Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Color of dark purple, thick looking with decent legs. Nose of chocolate, dark fruits, strawberry, leather, some more blackberries, and fruit acidic note. Taste is smooth, quite mouthful and silky, slightly sweet with soft tannins, some more ripe grapes, borderline grape juice, vanilla, bitter graphite, and cocoa. Aftertaste shows some warmth, medium long. Just a bit watery. Easy to drink with flavors. Nice find at this price tag. — 2 years ago

Morgen Long

X Omni Vineyard Chardonnay

Had a virtual tasting with Seth Morgen Long. Some of the best Oregon Chardonnay I have had. Really beautiful, well made wines. He is the only producer in Oregon making Chardonnay exclusively. I can’t wait to taste these with some age.

The X-Omni was beautiful.

How do you compare these to Antica Terra’s Chardonnay’s

@Shay A: totally different. More along the lines of the 00 Chardonnays if you had those. Higher acidity and more Burgundian.

Charles Krug

X Clones Limited Release Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This is a rather crazy bottle, opened up today as more of an experiment than anything else. This wine is YOUTH-FUL. The nose is oak, blackberry cassis and graphite. The entry is youthful, sweet, chalky blackberry and fig. The middle of this wine is DENSE. Dark core, black fruits, a little bit of heat. A little smoky, meaty. The finish has a youthful tannin. With 60 acres of vineyard on Howell Mountain and 300 acres of vineyards in Yountville, you can taste the characteristics of both here in this bottling, but needs years to develop its individual personality. — 7 years ago

Nice @Mark Flesher ! Way to redeem yourself after the Dos Equis (in all honesty, I enjoy Dos as long as there is a beach in front of me!)

@Shay A I think I see it as the beer I would slam down when my discriminating tastes are completely at 0!

Domaine de Beudon

Riesling x Sylvaner 2007

14-year old Müller-Thurgau. Apricot on the nose. Palate is low acid, chewy stone fruit and a slug of diesel. Bitter almond, citrus oil. Love these wines. — 4 years ago

Lando

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

I was shocked to find this on the wine list at Larsens in Santa Clarita. I was first introduced to Lando wines at World of Pinot a few years ago and met Sam Lando there. Became a huge fan of his wines and was so pleased to enjoy it again. — 4 years ago
