Really pretty. A Pinot lover’s Nebbiolo. In a great spot. Don’t pair with anything too bold. Balanced. Slick packaging. — 8 days ago

A beautiful gift! Paired with boquerones and jamon iberico brought back from Spain (don’t tell TSA). Drunk over two hours and absolutely singing. Nice nuttiness to compliment the acorn forward Iberico, and wonderful acidity and saltiness to compliment the anchovies. One of those celebratory bottles that you can stew over sip after sip, or just let go and lift the glass. — 16 days ago

Trivia at Aldo Sohm wine bar. Our team lost by one point. This wine won by many points. I blind tasted my staff and they converged around Rhone. Great stuff! — 21 days ago

90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, aged 30 months in new oak. Some will say this is over the hill, others will say it needs hours of air. It’s undeniably an eclectic and intriguing wine. Honey and toasted nuts. Rich and full with an unctuous sherry finish. Paired with chicken liver mousse. — 8 days ago

9.1

Light in color but deep and wild in style with crushed flower petals, red forest berries, spiced plum and garrigue. The tannins are present but not overbearing. Abv. a bit pushy. An iron fist in a velvet glove. Just a dang good wine for the money. Sustainably farmed. — 18 days ago

Mangos and minerals. Clean. Very approachable now. Not fat or concentrated considering the warm vintage. — 22 days ago

Jasmine, orange blossom, lavender, river stones. A nymph’s pillow. Insanely savory. Insavolry.

9.2

One of my favorite wines I tasted at the estate. Competes with Premier Cru Chablis in my eyes with super charged acid and texture. White flowers, Meyer lemon, bay leaf, and grapefruit pith with deep saline minerality and a long finish. Aged a year in neutral French oak on the lees. Pair with grilled octopus. — 20 days ago

Considered white Burgundy or Etna Bianco.
Called Canary Islands. Salty and reductive.
Lots of acid. Should’ve considered Willamette as this reminds me of Morgen Long wines. Good vintage for most of the west coast. — 25 days ago
