2020 Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Les Bois ChevauxPinot Noir more |
4/19/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRBlack fruited and a bit savory, with grippy backend tannin. A solid spine of acidity keeps it fresh and not too brooding. This is drinking well now, would be great with lamb or duck or a filet, but will be even better in 10-15 years. |

2010 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Les PreusesChardonnay more |
4/13/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRStunning bottle. Perfect weight, texture, and mouthfeel. A great mix of orchard fruit with rocky minerality. Showing age with some roundness and density in the midpalate but still plenty of acidity keeping it fresh. Aging gracefully and beautifully with years to go. |

4/13/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRI don’t buy or drink many wines like this but it scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. For a white with density and loads of dry extract but balanced with great aromatics, florals, and plenty of acidity. It has weight and power but is still pretty and fresh. Delicious. |

2021 Desire Lines Cabernet Sauvignon Lichau Hill VineyardPetaluma Gap more |
4/13/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRA fresh and elegant Cab, with really expressive aromatics that are wonderfully floral. Red-fruited in the mouth, with nice density but only medium body, and fine grained tannins. Drinking quite well on pop and pour but did gain complexity as we followed it over several hours. |

4/5/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NROur first bottle and it’s a great rendition. Expressive nose, floral and fruity, with an acid first palate, crisp and focused, supported by barely ripe peach and strawberry that fan out on the palate and a savory bass note. Glad we have another 11.25L of this. |

2021 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Durant VineyardDundee Hills more |
4/7/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRI’m in the Prasm camp over Justin, this is drinking great tonight on pop and pour. Gorgeous deep red cherry and berry nose. Medium bodied (for a Goodfellow at least) with plenty of dry extract, showing as cherry skins, and a sense of rocks and soil. A long finish framed by fine grained tannins. This is fantastic. |

2022 Desire Lines Winds of ChangeCalifornia Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
3/8/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRAnother great vintage of a wine that’s at the top of my list of best values in California. Nose is a bit shy on pop and pour but in the mouth it’s all blueberry fruit and blueberry skins, ripe but so fresh, with a chiseled structure that makes you wonder if the rocks in the soil somehow do make their way into grapes. Just a bit of backend tannin, not overly drying and makes you want to take another sip. Love this wine. |

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Riesling Wirz VineyardCienega Valley more |
3/3/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRHad to Pobega one after pickup day. I’m confident in saying this is my favorite white in the Bedrock lineup, against some tough competition. Nervy and high acid while still showing California sunshine and mouth-coating citrus oil. I never buy enough. |

3/3/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRTasted at pickup day. Beautiful aromatics and an intense floral quality to the palate as well. A bit tight and structured right now, I would give this plenty of air or some time sideways. |

2021 Desire Lines Chenin Blanc Experimental Series #13 Cat CanyonSanta Barbara County more |
3/3/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRTasted at pickup day. It didn’t scream Chenin to me… not sure what I would have called it blind but it was laser focused with green apple and citrus and then fanned out on a long finish, showing off loads of dry extract. Delicious and more-ish. |

2021 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Dude Ranch Red ReserveCalifornia Red Blend more |
3/2/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRThis nose evoked a very specific sense memory that brought me back 40 years, of peeling tangerines in the riverfront park across the street from the house where I grew up, which is really the highest praise I can imagine, ala Proust’s Madeleine or Remy’s Ratatouille. Now what is tangerine spritz and pith doing in the nose of a wine that’s predominantly Zin/Mourvedre/Grenache? I don’t know but it’s extradimensional. The joy carries over into the palate, which is juicy, juicy, with so many fruits dancing across the tongue, stone, berry, tropical, and citrus. Yeah! |

2023 Bedrock Wine Co. Sauvignon BlancSonoma Valley more |
3/2/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRTasted at pickup day. The acid of a Sancerre with fruit and aromatics that could only come from California. Great midpalate density followed by a piercing citrus that gets you ready for the next sip. If you don’t think you like California Sauvignon Blanc, this will change your mind. |

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah T Block Hudson VineyardCarneros more |
3/2/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRTasted at pickup day. Deep, dark and savory. Full-bodied and rich, with ripe blackberries and figs and plenty of meaty, gamy notes. High-class Cali Syrah that will develop for decades I’m sure. |

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Californiamore |
3/1/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRAs usual, I didn’t order enough of this. A bright and energetic Syrah, only medium+ bodied, showing nice citrus on top of the dark fruit core and savory bass notes. Killer value. |

2009 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-LieuChenin Blanc more |
2/17/2024 - zscheiner Likes this wine: 98 pointsNear perfection in a slightly aged white wine. Explodes in the mouth with lime and lime blossom. Then it grabs on with chalky grip, shows a lovely spice melange and fans out into an underripe tropical orchard finish. The finish goes on and on. Such good juice. |

2/16/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NROrdered off a list and drinking very well on pop and pour. The red fruit is warm but vibrant, balanced by nice acidity. This has a bit more depth than I expect from Mercurey. Very nice. |

2021 Bedrock Wine Co. Ode to LucienCalifornia Red Rhone Blend more |
2/10/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRDecanted about a half-hour before service to try to give this as much air as possible at this young age. Brooding at this stage, but not closed, with dark fruit, black rocks, some tannin, but nice acidity and freshness. Savory is a key word here and it complemented brined grilled Flannery pork chops beautifully. I’ll wait a few years for our next bottle. |

2/10/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NRMight have waited a little long on this for my taste. Not fully oxidized yet but showing plenty of signs of age, with mushroom and hints of caramel. Still nice acidity but not a ton of fruit. More interesting with air and as it warmed in the glass. Drink up. |

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Old Hill Ranch HeritageSonoma Valley Red Blend more |
2/4/2024 - zscheiner wrote: NROnce again I don’t regret opening an Old Hill young. Is there tannin? Sure, it sticks to the gums. Will it evolve and improve? Almost certainly. But it’s fresh and exuberant and I’m glad I didn’t miss that by waiting years to open my first bottle. Violets, perfectly ripe blackberries and plums, such a long finish. This is a special vineyard and I love what Bedrock does with it. Next bottle in 5 years? Maybe 3. Maybe 6 months. |
