5/24/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 91 points

Dark reddish-purple in color; almost opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy & floral notes of roses, spices, dried herbs & minerals. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, berries & plums, with spices, herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but should develop further with additional aging.

2022 Antonio Bernardino Paulo da Silva Arinto Casal da Azenha Branco

Vinho Regional Lisboa more

4/26/2024 - forceberry wrote: 87 points

100% Arinto from vineyards in and around the Colares region. Fermented with inoculated yeasts in stainless steel tanks. 13% alcohol, 3,1 g/l residual sugar, 5,3 g/l acidity and pH 3,31.

Youthful, pale greenish color. The nose feels youthful, fresh and somewhat green-toned with aromas of chopped herbs, some sharp Granny Smith apple tones, light floral nuances and a hint of ripe citrus fruits. The wine feels youthful and balanced on the palate with a medium-to-moderately body and vibrant flavors of sweet Fuji apple, some creamy tones, light green nuances of chopped herbs and green banana, light saline mineral nuances, a hint of ripe white peach and a faint touch of vanilla. The medium-to-moderately high acidity lends some sense of balance to the wine, although the overall feel is a bit on the soft side. The finish is ripe, juicy and pretty fresh with a moderately long aftertaste of sweet white peach and Fuji apple, some creamy tones, a little bit of herby greenness and a hint of plantain.

A pleasant and enjoyable little white. In comparison to the Colares Chitas, this feels pretty soft and simple, coming across just as a fruity little everyday white. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly noteworthy. A nice and balanced weekday white that combines ripe fruit with somewhat green-toned nuances surprisingly effortlessly. Ridiculous value at 4,75€, though.

Well there is an undeniable gap between nose and palate. It is really good but that’s on the nose foremost. Cellaring won’t do this much better. But it is darn good

Medium ruby red in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & cranberries with overtones of floral notes of roses & lavender, earthy/dusty, minerals, orange peel, spices, anise, herbs, tar & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & cranberries with herbs, minerals & spices. Long lingering finish with smooth grain tannins. Drinks quite well with decanting & extended airing but it should develop further with additional aging

2018 de Négoce Zinfandel OG N.93

Mendocino more

5/23/2024 - SCM Fan Likes this wine: 90 points

Popped and poured next to OG N. 38 2018 Sonoma "Altitude" Syrah. Pours dark crimson in glass, clear legs of alcohol apparent with swirling on this 16.3% beast. Nose has cherry/bramble and tobacco- very much what is expected from high quality cool climate Zin IMO. In the mouth, more big Zinberry fruit with a modest whack of tannins. This should be served with some food- burgers or good quality Pizza. Better than I expected for sure. Did ZAP festivals well over 20 years ago, this reminds me of some of the better Zins served at the Fort Mason Pavilion - at I left PRETTY FOGGY afterwards!

My Favs from our Big Group at COV Edina. Kevin's red. Fun to finally try this as I've seen it offered by Envoyer and never got around to pulling the trigger. This delivers an authentic version of old school red Burgundy. Very enjoyable and classic but don't expect the fireworks of this site from the hands of a Rousseau, the two Trapets, Dujac & the like. That said, this delivers a fine example of aged Grand Cru red Burgundy at a price many of us won't choke on. Bravo! One of the best reds tonight!

Deep, dark reddish-purple in color; essentially opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & cassis with overtones of floral notes of violets & earthy/dusty notes, spices, pepper, minerals, a hint of garrigue & oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (92+).

5/24/2024 - wmccone54 wrote: 92 points

I definitely agree with THE DRUNKEN CYCLIST on this Chardonnay: bright, clear medium lemon with specs of gold throughout; fresh and intense aromatics and flavors; and well balanced with the judicious use of oak. Evolving complexity with a plethora of white and yellow fruits, oak still integrating, and acidity adding balance and freshness. Long finish. Enjoyed with salt and vinegar pistachios. Drink through 2026+.

Same experience as my previous bottles of this vintage. I am enjoying the light red fruits, lively acidity and savory characteristics of this wine. It is a light to medium bodied wine that is easy to enjoy. It is not for long term aging, however.

Pink salmon in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, stone fruits, & watermelon notes with overtones of floral notes & minerals, orange rind & a hint of spices in the background. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of fresh strawberries, cranberries & citrus notes with spices & minerals. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present although it might improve with an additional year or two of aging. An indicative blend of Cinsault, Grenache & Mourvedre. A wonderful Rose which will hold up to summer fare.

Muted scents of black cherry, plum, tar, earth and woodsmoke on the nose give way to an elegant expression of these flavors on the tongue that are well integrated with mouth-watering acidity and fine-grained tannins, all enhanced and supported with a salty minerality. The grapes come from a vineyard planted in 1964 and it shows in the wine’s significant depth and complexity.

5/24/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 93 points

1/10. EYE: saturated straw color, no visible gas. NOSE: a remarkable span across bright lemon, wax, clamshell, mulch, forest, and kirsch. Vibrant; transparent. MOUTH: mannered and dry; very ripe fruit flavor crossing into musquée; beeswax. Reliable vitigenic acidity structures the event. I find a shadowy impulse of something acetic thoroughly buried in pastel bloom. The finish peels away leaving gripping white stone flavor. 2021 Ivag is a bit more contained in expression compared to 2019.
