2020 Clementine Carter Grenache

Decanted for 30 minutes first, then tasted from an Oregon Pinot Noir glass to see what this would reveal. Interesting technical details from the website: This wine is the product of two organically-farmed Sta. Rita Hills vineyards (Spear and Robert Rae). "75% whole cluster fermentation...30+ days on the skins.... Pressed into neutral French oak barrels for aging." Lovely aromatic balance between red fruits and dust, graphite, and earthy funk. Dry mouthfeel, nice tannins and acidity. Flavors tend toward tart strawberry, fresh red raspberry, and raspberry hard candy. Mid-palate is long and smooth, aftertaste is reminiscent of the earthy aromas. Terrific quality, really like this style of Grenache!

2020 Kongsgaard Chardonnay

Decanted for 90 minutes and chilled first. Tasted from an Oregon Pinot Noir glass. Wow, this wine is coming along so well! Right now, the aroma is focused on toasty oak, but it's so rich and encompassing that you want to climb in the glass. Yellow stone fruit, hazelnut, and a hint of smoke accompany the oak. Flavors of lemon pulp and zest, white peach, and white oak. In a good place, but keep holding if you prefer less of an oak profile (hold out for the tropical notes to develop).
