2019 Château Poesia

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/24/2024 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NR

Jammy Zinfandel-like nose with hints of raspberry and cola. Sweet red fruit excites the upper palate with lingering finish. Tannins are grippy yet refined. Great price point. I'm a fan.

2/10/2024 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NR

Lemony nose with hint of sea breeze. Briny, nice acidity. Paired great with food. Drank way too young. Will try to refrain from drinking the remaining bottles for at least five years.

2021 Rodeo Hills Chardonnay Pear Vineyard

One of the most un-chardonnay-like chardonnays I've tasted. Decent acidity but some RS and tasted a lot like an off-dry Reisling. I definitely would have failed if tasted blind.

2015 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir Block 7 Shea Vineyard

Willamette Valley more

11/20/2023 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NR

Outstanding. The best of the 2015 Shea line up to date. Ripe cherry on the nose. Excites all dimensions of the palate. Cherry cola on a long finish. Very fruit forward. Seamless. Although in a very good place now, this should only get better over the next five years.

A beast of a wine. Somewhat disjointed at this stage. Would benefit with more bottle age or a lengthy decant.

2015 Domaine Santa Duc Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau Ouest

Red Rhone Blend more

3/23/2023 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NR

Color and nose reminds me of an Oregon Pinot Noir. Forest floor and potpourri with a hint of dark berry. Heavy, syrupy mouth feel that starts out soft and juicy on front of palate and leads to a very dry medium finish. Very pleasant with food. I did not get the metallic notes that others had mentioned. Note sure I agree with the 96 given by Parker but probably somewhere in the low 90s would be more appropriate for me.

Decanted 8 hours before drinking. Consistent with other notes. Although young, very enjoyable now. Hedonistic. Almost black, full bodied, intoxicating nose of potpourri and dark fruits. Great mouthfeel and finish.

Delightful tiny bubbles. Great crisp and fresh mouthfeel. The effervescence in the glass continued throughout the duration of the meal. One of the best champagnes I've had in a long time.
