The nose on this wine should be harnessed and made into a candle. The fragrance is sweet and citrusy - throughout dinner I found myself smelling it even though I wasn’t going to sip the wine. The taste was more complex, and was bright, acidic and crisp; fruity but not particularly sweet.
I found this bottle on the menu at Bottega on our trip to Napa. The first taste was presented when the wine was slightly too warm. They chilled it for us and it improved our enjoyment even more. In my mind I’m not someone who buys the Sauvignon Blanc. We usually buy a Cab but this was spectacular.

We have been saving this 2016 for years and drank this with my brother and parents during game night. Upon first taste we could tell it was going to be delicious once opened. We decanted it once and let it open up and afterward it was fantastic!

2018 Shea Wine Cellars Chardonnay Shea Vineyard

The primary flavor profile in this wine is best described as yeasty. It opens up over time but for the price I prefer the California Chardonnays.
