2004 Enzo Boglietti Barbera d'Alba Roscaletomore |
6/6/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 90 pointsA modern styled Barbera with a lot of fruit and oak. Still has some tannin and just starting to taste aged. Drink or hold. |

2010 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les GrézeauxCabernet Franc more |
9/25/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 91 pointsElegant, rich fruit, beautiful texture, muted nose, not quite as expressive as I had hoped. Much more open after a couple days in the fridge. Tight but approachably structured, this is tasty today but should be much more expressive and complex with a few or many years in the cellar. |

2009 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Le DomaineCabernet Franc more |
7/2/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 90 pointsTight, but with decent complexity. Had an oddly intense blood/metal flavor on opening, but this diminished with some air. Mineral, floral, earth, tea, red fruit, bright acidity. Should be more expressive with some cellar time or more air. |

7/2/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 90 points"Elegant and understated" as written below is spot on. Not an intense or dazzling wine, but very nicely balanced with a lingering finish. |

9/11/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRLast two bottles have had nasty reductive aromas. A decant has blown the stink away, but the bottles still seemed muddles/muted compared the brilliance of the first one that I had. |

3/29/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: 93 pointsGreat balance, tension, & structure to age. Very aromatic and complex on day one, but the tannins took over on days 2&3. |

2009 Cameron Chardonnay Blanc Abbey RidgeDundee Hills more |
10/19/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 92 pointsExcellent chardonnay. Dense, but balanced and driven by an acid/mineral/oak? spine that lingers on and on. |

2011 Matello Chardonnay Richard's CuveeRibbon Ridge more |
11/12/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRDidn't take any notes unfortunately, but i recall a remarkably well balanced wine with a fine texture. Drinking very well. Excellent example of Willamette Valley chardonnay |

2011 Arterberry Maresh ChardonnayDundee Hills more |
11/8/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRImpressive and unique chardonnay at a friendly price. Lean yet powerful and dense, driven by intense minerality. Lemon cream and loads of seashells/stones on the palate. Long finish with lingering texture and high acidity. Begs for cellar time. Very interested to see how this develops. |

11/19/2014 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: 95 pointsExcellent. Big, rich, dense, long, mineral. Some buttery oak/malo. Taking on some honey/apricot notes from bottle age. Loved this. |

2010 Jean Rijckaert Chardonnay Arboismore |
3/13/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: 92 pointsSubtle and restrained, yet so delicious. Not too much oak. Can't remember more details but loved this wine. Killer QPR. |

2009 Domaine Vrignaud Chablis Les ChampréauxChardonnay more |
12/10/2012 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRSlightly buttery, oaky nose misleads...rich, but crisp, balanced, saline, ample acidity with a lingering finish. Excellent for sub $25. |

2011 Cameron Chardonnay Dundee Hillsmore |
12/10/2012 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe anti-California chardonnay and our new house chardonnay. No butter/fat/flab, medium body, loads of acidity, very fresh, crisp, aromatic, lime, mineral. Some slight oak spice on the finish, but in no way intrusive. Best sub $20 chardonnay I can remember. |

2011 Cameron Chardonnay Dundee Hillsmore |
5/6/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRExcellent combination of rich, round texture and lingering acidity. Drank well over three nights. A bit more buttery oak than I remember from my last bottle, but in no way out of place. Great value. |

2009 Maison Albert Bichot Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaucopins Domaine Long-DepaquitChardonnay more |
4/16/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 86 pointsThis chablis didn't really taste like chablis to me. Too ripe and flabby, reminded me of California. Not a bad wine, but a little out of balance in the ripe 2009 vintage. |

12/19/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 87 pointsFYI - On pop and pour this wine had an overwhelming paint thinner like aroma and taste. I put it back in the fridge and on night 2 and 3 it was fine. Reduction or VA maybe? |

2010 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du PyGamay more |
6/19/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: NREarth, mineral, red fruit and spice on the nose and palate. Elegantly structured, medium body. Can't believe this is gamay. I would have bet money this was pinot noir if tasted blind. Priced on the high side for beaujolais, but cheaply if you cover the label and pretend it's burgundy. |

11/1/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: NRPromising, but tight young wine. Prominant earth/mushroom note and more tannin that the regular bottling. Good potential. Revisit in a year or two. |

11/1/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: NRVery pretty, elegant. Strong minerality. Tight with some tannin. Less tannin and missing the earth/mushroom notes compared to the Tardive. Too young to score. Revisit in a year or two. |

2009 Château Thivin Côte de BrouillyGamay more |
6/6/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 92 pointsPop & pour. Loads of beautifully layered fruit with soft, textured tannins and a medium-long finish. Great Beaujolais. |

2011 Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Reserve SteinsetzKamptal more |
5/20/2013 - Brandon T. Likes this wine: NRThis one needs air. Bottle very tight, structured 1st night. Dramatically better on day two. Clear light straw color, med body, lime, lemon cream, white pepper, gently floral, long mineral-driven finish. Very good. |
