2014 Antigal Cabernet Sauvignon Uno
6/29/2017 - travelwinechick Likes this wine: 90 Points
While quite young, I found this wine to be very drinkable now if opened a short time in advance of serving it. As someone used to full-bodied Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, I found the medium-body, higher-acid style of this wine to be a refreshing change. Blackberry, black cherry, and plum intermingle with spicy oak and bitter, black coffee flavors to create a layered flavor palette.

2014 Stoller Chardonnay Reserve
10/23/2016 - travelwinechick Likes this wine: 92 Points
I live on the edge of ABC (All But Chardonnay, except Chablis and unoaked Chardonnay, that is), until this lovely 2014 Stoller Family Estate Reserve Chardonnay (sample, $35). Holy deliciousness, Batman! The 11 months in French oak add a beautiful texture and backbone to a citrus- and tree-fruit driven wonder on the palate. I'm especially drawn to the lime finish. If only all oaked Chardonnays could be like this one.

2015 Passaggio Trousseau Gris Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard
4/2/2016 - travelwinechick Likes this wine: 95 Points
This trousseau gris pops with perfumed aromatics and intense flavors. Pale yellow in the glass, this wine is fragrant, textured, and spicy, reminiscent of gewürztraminer. Complex fruit flavors run the gamut from citrus to stone to tropical fruits, including a mélange of apricot, grapefruit, melon, white peach, and tangerine. This wine also showcases the minerality of Fanucchi’s unique terroir and exhibits cool-climate acidity.
