My fav B. Leighton is the Syrah. Been looking for this for a while now. It’s a beautiful wine. Such concentration, dark and blue fruits on the nose with a pretty floral vibe and dried herbs. The palate is expansive with lush fruits, great acidity, more pretty flowers, dried herbs, and a light smokiness that seems just right. The texture is awesome. Finishes with a nice minerality and tannins that are seamless. As with all his wines, balanced and on point with the varietal.

Wonderful little Italian white from Campania! Love the nose, rich with pear and peach aromas, complimented by pretty white flowers and lemon and lime oil. Palate is also rich and the texture is awesome. Fills the mouth with tropical fruit, great acidity, Lemon and lime, nutty with a minerally and briny vibe carrying to a medium finish.
I really enjoyed this wine with an onion, zucchini, mushroom and arugula pasta finished with feta, pecorino and all the good herbs from our garden!

This is a deliciously earthy, fruited and structured Chinon. Nose is red fruits, flowers, herbs and earth. This has some richness to it but all in balance. Had it next to a 2017 St. Innocent Village Cuvée and paired with grilled pork chops, lemon and garlic broccolini and ricotta and pea pesto toast. Was delicious and drinking well on day 2.
