2019 St. Supéry Cabernet Franc Rutherford Vineyard
5/22/2024 - KingsleyZissou Likes this wine: 91 Points
Hyper extracted, somewhat simplistic but enjoyable Cab Franc from the estate.
Notes of high-toned black currant, fresh plum, spearmint, vanilla, mocha and barrel spice.
Palate shows moderate tannin dominated by high acid, making for a nice complement to food.

2022 Domaine Pichot Vouvray Domaine Le Peu de la Moriette
5/22/2024 - KingsleyZissou wrote: 90 Points
Nose of waxy yellow apple, pear, and a slight flinty character. Some slight florals beneath.
Considerable RS on the palate and not a whole lot of acidity to provide some backbone.
Pleasant fruit but not very compelling Chenin.

2019 Romuald Valot Beaune 1er Cru Les Cent Vignes
5/22/2024 - KingsleyZissou Likes this wine: 92 Points
Another surprisingly solid ~$50 Beaune. Certainly struck me as a more new world style, but really enjoyable.
Lovely nose full of black cherry, wild strawberry, anise, rose, cinnamon, garrigue and a background of coffee and cedar from the oak.
Palate is weighty with round medium-minus tannin and medium acidity that provided good structure.
Not impressively complex, but certainly so very pleasant, if just a touch off balance. Really a nice wine to enjoy now or over the next 5 years.
