Little funky, but not unrecognizable. Textured and ripe chardonnay with good acid. Great with soft cheese.

Subtle!
Although the first two glasses mirrored my impressions from the first bottle, by the end of my third glass, it seems that some intriguing (though still very subtle) floral and herbal nuances were trying hard to peek through. I put the top back on and will see if/how a couple days time might change things. Stay tuned…
Revisiting on night 3 and at room temp. Coaxing some nice dusty blue fruits out of the aromatics. When sipped, the very front of the tongue can sense bright red fruits - cranberries and underripe raspberries. Still uber-subtle.

Cloudy violet.
Nose floral, red fruits.
Palate vibrant papayas. Initially an almost gassy hit, then a red fruited strawberry note, a slightly earthy/forest funk, garrigue. Some guava with time. Very nice with Taiwanese beef rolls

2017 La Clarine Farm Tempranillo La Paciencia

Sierra Foothills more

4/25/2021 - fred o. Likes this wine: 91 points

100% tempranillo. 13.3% abv.

Dark violet burgundy with some translucence.
Nose dark fruited, an herbal note, some rose florals with time.
Palate black cherries, some tart almost tomato notes, a hint of earth. A strongly mineral spine, slightly ashy tannin on finish.

Structured yet nice balance, could give it some more time, I think. Interesting to try a new-world Tempranillo done in the La Clarine style

2019 La Clarine Farm Cabernet Sauvignon

12/29/2022 - mks83 Likes this wine: 92 points

Totally Clarine style - a cab that tastes like excellent oregon pinot. Explosive high pitched nose consisting of dark cherry, red and black raspberry, and ripe black plum. Waxy mouth - medium (-) soft tannin and high plummy acidity, smooth but you can chew forever. Very consistent level of purity and intensity from the begging to the finish that sticks to the nose /lingers long. Also consistent throughout day 1-3 without any sign of decline. 92-93.

Again, super funky; one described as olive tapenade and I could sense that. Somewhat intriguing but similar to the last bottle, it was one-note and unimpressionable. No Rating.

Weird in a good way. Honestly, I don't know if this was meant to be an orange wine, because it wasn;t marketed as one, but it sure behaved like one. Golden yellow/orange color with that 'unfiltered' look. Chewy texture with a passion fruit juicy like quality. Hard to describe what this wine was all about, but to put it simply, it was pretty darn interesting and quite enjoyable. Medium weight, with medium acidity and a long finish.

Slightly cloudy burnished dark copper; some sediment. Tea colored.

Nose apricot, hint of candied cherries.

Palate red apricot and dried cherries, an herbal tinge with some minerality, very nice depth. Like a Provençal rosé. Good potential still. Per J, strawberries and raspberries with honey.

Golden color.
Nose golden apple and honey.
Palate very tart, high acidity, a lemony green apple note. More honeyed when eaten with a fatty food like fried chicken as contrast. Some stone fruit, mineral notes with time.

Still very young IMO but good promise.

You can’t ignore the barnyard rusticity in this wine’s aromatics. And though it settles down and transitions to a (can’t put my finger on it) distinct herbal dominant nose, the rusticity persists throughout. The flavors are nuanced but, immediately evident is dark red fruits - raspberries and under ripe wild blackberries, which play into a not-so-subtle gaminess/meatiness. Texturally appealing with nice, mid-level acidity and a crunchy, macerated fruit finish.
Much more approachable and appealing than the Sumu Kaw Syrah but I definitely need to give that one another try.

No rating because I drank this over three nights, and though it showed moments of promise, it mostly reminded me of the wines I made from my Syrah vineyard. Simple and though serviceable, unimpressionable.
I’m pledging to give it another try; perhaps with some food, though I’m not sure I could come up with something that would not over-power it.

Unscrewed and poured. Funky melon aroma with grassy notes. Slightly sour flavors of strawberry, orange peel, and minerals. Lemony finish.
