Flight 1 (12 Notes)

  • 2008 Syncline Subduction White 91 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Fruit-forward nose - interesting and perfumed. Smooth body, with good acidity. Complex, interesting. Somewhat tropical. No ML! This is way more interesting than the sum of its parts. $22

  • 2007 Domaine Thibert Père et Fils Mâcon-Prissé En Chailloux 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Mâcon-Prissé

    Minerally nose. Nice acidity, slight oak? Light, as far from New World chard as you can get. 12.5%. Delicious, very food-friendly. $22

  • 2008 Jaffurs Roussanne 89 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County

    This drinks more like a white CdR, including that slight bitterness on the back end. Fairly ripe, but not at all oily. Dicey QPR at $32.

  • 2008 André Méjan Tavel Canto Perdrix 91 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Tavel

    Shy dry strawberry nose. Creamy, with good acidity. Red wine vinegar, strawberry, cherry. Complex. This is going to be my go-to rosé of the summer! $20

  • 2007 Sineann Pinot Noir Wy'east 88 Points

    USA, Oregon/Washington, Columbia Gorge

    Serious funk on the nose, lots of barnyard poop. Smooth, elegant but a little too easy and bland. Light tannins, medium acid.

  • 2006 Adelaida Version Red 92 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles

    Wow, this is really underrated here. Meaty nose, slightly perfumed with a little cosmetic. Smoth attack, followed by solid acidity and medium tannins. Tastes like what it is, a new-world Rhone blend. Not hot. Medium+ oak.

  • 2007 Le Mas des Collines Gigondas 89 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Gigondas

    Slightly shy nose. Ripe, but not rich. Good structure, surprisingly so for the vintage. Smooth. Slightly simple.

  • 2006 Couly-Dutheil Chinon La Baronnie Madeleine 89 Points

    France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon

    Pleasantly surprised! The nose is nice - ripeish, with some Rhone-y talc. Good smooth attack, hugely tannic mid-palate, with medium+ acidity. Tiny bit of green, but not overly so. Definitely a food wine, but nice. $29

  • 2005 Wild Hog Vineyard Zinfandel 92 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast

    Wow, this was a very pleasant surprise! Awesome oaky menthol nose. Smooth, good structure. It's amazing that it's 16%, because it's not showing it. Big, not at all rich. Long. $25

  • 2007 Nalle Zinfandel 89 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley

    Meaty nose, slightly ripe red fruit. Smooth, easy but medium+ structure. Spicy. Zinny.
