• 2009 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 97 Points

  Seems to have matured a bit but in a very good way. Not hugely acidic but just enough to balance the clean and pure fruit.
  This is just an amazing and beautiful wine!!!

• 2015 Realm Cellars The Falstaff 97 Points

  USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford

  Hugely impressive young wine. Packed with compact and dense black currant fruit with a slightly green touch. It really needs a few more years to show its quality but it certainly also tastes great right now!!
  Amazing wine!

• 2014 Realm Cellars Farella Vineyard 95 Points

  USA, California, Napa Valley, Coombsville

  Heavily decanted but still it underwhelmed a bit. Had expected more. With that being said, it is still a power-house and packed with fruit. It just lacked a bit of excitement. Still a solid wine.
