2012 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La PerrièrePinot Noir more |
5/16/2024 - Deux Chevaux wrote: NRNearly 9 years after the prior: This has developed beautifully. Pale ruby at the rim. Essence of forest floor and savory mushrooms. Suggestions of white ground pepper. Texture is somewhat creamy, backed up by lovely acidity. Perfectly in balance. Extremely enjoyable over three nights, gas in between. We are happy to have another, and hope to wait a couple years before opening — but it’s so good now we may not resist. |

2023 Navarro Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Cuvée 128Anderson Valley more |
5/15/2024 - Deux Chevaux wrote: NRMedium straw in color. Bright, energetic, with nice acid backbone. Friendly and refreshing, even though it showed a bit of heat. (Stated ABV only 13.4.) Quite enjoyable over four nights, gassed in between. |

5/17/2024 - repoper wrote: 91 pointsAnother very good bottle. Nose of fresh blue fruits, blueberries, bacon fat, lavender and wet hemp. It was a last minute decision so it only got 3+ hours of air. It just kept getting better and better as it sat in the glass. This wine can age for many more years so I’ve tucked 6 deep in my cellar to see how it is in 5-7 years. Love this. |

Yet, again, this vintage seems just a bit less intense and voluptuous compared to prior and subsequent vintages. Highly enjoyable over four nights, gassed in between. |

5/14/2024 - Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 94 pointsContinuing the theme of drinking 2003’s with my 2003 baby, legal at last. Darker gold color than most bottles, but did not seem more oxidized than it should be for the style. Delicious apple and orchard fruit, waxy, nutty, hint of petrol, dry on the palate despite the nose suggesting sweet fruit. Overalll delicious and great with our appetizers of mussels and escargot. |

2016 Williams Selyem Zinfandel Saitone Estate VineyardRussian River Valley more |
5/17/2024 - tomlee wrote: 95 pointsDark red in color. 14.8% ABV. Sublime nose of red and black fruits, citrus, licorice and pepper. Medium body with perfect acidity and balance. Bursting with rich, lush fruits. Raspberry, cranberry, salmonberry and pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. This Zinfandel has aged beautifully and could not be more in my wheelhouse. Best over the next 1-2 years. |

NV Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon BlancWestern Cape more |
5/17/2024 - Neecies Likes this wine: NRGreatly exceeded expectations for a $17 bubble. Apparently made by Traditional Method, it's concentrated, bright and fruity with visible viscosity and firm, mouth-filling petillance. Makes one wonder why sparkling sauvignon blanc is so rare. |

5/17/2024 - StewartWent wrote: 87 pointsI'm largely unconvinced. Seems a bit underdone (young vine fruit?), medium weight at best, and the fruit profile is a little brittle. Bright palate with plenty of acid. Might be one for the traditionalists. |
