Cheers to more blue skies in northern California! 💙 The 2017 Syrah, Grenache, Mataro from Ridge Vineyards is a lovely new world GSM blend 🍷

62% Syrah
27% Grenache
11% Mataro (Mouvedre)

This Syrah dominated wine exhibits aromas of red currant, raspberries, plums, thyme, cedar, oak, and some pepper. On the palate, you'll get a fruit driven viscous sensation probably as a result of the malolactic fermentation. The seemingly sweet tobacco flavors linger on the palate with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

14.2% ABV. Medium-plus body.

This Southern Rhone style wine did great on a Thursday night! 🍷

Cheers!

2013 and it’s still alive and kicking. As it opens up it begins to express all of its tropical fruit aromas like mango, papaya and passion fruit. It has a creamy aroma and creamy texture from its fermentation and ageing in oak. It’s like a light coconut and white chocolate powder dashed on top. Lovely texture, tight and crunchy, with an orange peel and cream. Long finish. #sauvignonblanc #fuméblanc #mondavi #californiawine #napavalley — 4 years ago

Bedrock Dolinsek Ranch Red

Dried blackberries and rich black and pruned plums. Black cherry dusted bituminous. Cedar and wet violets locked in an energetic embrace. Baked strawberry aromas and dried rose petal. Dried lavender emerges from bing cherry and red currant with a blackberry and bitter chocolate entourage. Touches of ginger and chicory on a medium full palate that bursts with Mallow blossom and blueberry. Intermittently tart, tangy, rich and floral, with a medicinal nod in the dried aromatics, that is a welcome and pleasant diversion. There is a black currant leaf note that likely opens to fruit with age, but is still very pleasant in its youth. #bedrockwineco #BedrockDolinsekRanchVineyards #BedrockDolinsekRanchRed #Sonoma #RussianRiver #RussianRiverValley #Russianriverred #SonomaCounty #DolinsekRanch #dryfarmed #LagunaTrenton #redwine #cared #calired #californiawine — 4 years ago

There’s a prickly pickle (vinegar) /ginger hint on the nose and on the palate. The alcohol is bit unbalanced by lack of fruit and somewhat hollow palate. The finish is an off-dry yeasty experience. #californiachardonnay #chardonnay #californiawine — 4 years ago

2012 Rochioli Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

A great combination of bright red fruit and spice notes. Vibrant, classy California Russian Valley pinot noir. Went well with Japanese sukiyaki.

カリピノらしい果実感と様々なスパイスが絶妙なコンビネーションで味わえるピノノワールでした。果実感の強いカリピノとすき焼きとの相性も抜群でした。

I think this is my first time tasting a Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Let me tell you, this 2012 Pinot Noir from Clos de la Tech has aged well! 🍷 A funky nose with aromas of strawberries, some plum, and aged red wine notes of mushrooms, wet earth and truffle. I love a good funky Pinot Noir! 🍷

Accendo Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2017

This is the wine the Araujo Family has been making since 2013. Refreshing. Floral with a nice balance of acidity and tropical fruits. This is a perfect wine for summer.

アクセンド セラーズのソーヴィニョンブラン 2017年をトライ。 アラウホ ファミリーが2013年からナパで手掛けるワイナリー。花の香りとともに酸とトロピカルフルーツが絶妙なバランスで、夏に飲みたくなるワイン。
