2020 Domaine de Chantemerle Chablis 1er Cru FourchaumeChardonnay more |
4/24/2024 - JM_MadTown wrote: 85 pointsThe wine is light bodied, round and soft, but with the acidity as you would expect in a Chablis. There is lemon and lemon zest, plus good minerality and some sea salt. However, I find the finish to be short and lacking the complexity that I would expect in a premier cru. |

2018 Ridge Zinfandel Ponzo VineyardRussian River Valley more |
4/23/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis is an enjoyable Zinfandel with lots of black cherries, plums and cranberries. The firm acidity holds in check the sweetness of the fruit. It is certainly at its peak and probably will not improve, so I would recommend enjoying your bottles sooner rather than later. |

2016 Catherine et Pierre Breton Bourgueil Clos SénéchalCabernet Franc more |
4/19/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is a savory Bourgueil that’s ready to drink. It has dark red fruit, forest floor, bell pepper, good minerality, earthiness, and a medium body. It is in a perfect place now to enjoy. |

2012 Domaine Tempier Bandol La TourtineMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
4/17/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine has a beautiful red color with an orange rim. It has lovely dark red fruits, bramble, herbs de Provence and some green olive. It has great length and a roundness to it that is pleasing. The tannins have been resolved, but it still keeps the rustic characteristics of a typical wine from Bandol. |

2019 Lingua Franca Chardonnay AVNIDundee Hills more |
4/14/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis wine is quite nice, especially for the closet out price I paid of $20. It is very complex, with honeyed pear and green apple and zippy acidity to balance that out, plus nice minerality. |

2016 Cristom Pinot Noir Jessie VineyardEola - Amity Hills more |
4/14/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 92 pointsNice spice box, cherries, raspberries and balanced acidity for this wine. Had it last evening and it was quite enjoyable. I do agree that the fruit is on the leaner side, but that is just an observation, not a compliant. |

2020 Domaine Notre Dame des Pallières Gigondas Bois des MourresRed Rhone Blend more |
4/12/2024 - JM_MadTown wrote: 88 pointsThe wine has smoky black fruits, including black cherries and raspberries, plus it is full bodied and has good complexity. However, at 15.5% alcohol, it is a heady wine. |

2017 Bruno Colin Chassagne-MontrachetChardonnay more |
4/9/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 89 pointsThere are nice orchard fruits, a little vanilla, and baking spices with a medium finish. It has a roundness on the palate that is pleasing. I do believe that this vintage should be consumed soon. |

2018 Gérard Boulay Sancerre Clos de BeaujeuSauvignon Blanc more |
4/8/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis bottle has some citrus fruit, gooseberries, lemon grass, lemon zest, stony minerality, and good acidity. It has all the elements of my previous bottles of this vintage. However, it seems that the fruit has faded somewhat and the wine, at least for this bottle, has lost some of its vibrancy. It has been stored in a 55 degree cellar since release. |

2022 Vietti Dolcetto d'Alba Tre Vignemore |
4/7/2024 - JM_MadTown wrote: 89 pointsI had this at a pizza joint last evening and it went well with the pizza! This is a typically dry and somewhat tannic Dolcetto with the fruit in the background. Nevertheless, it has plumb, sorry cherry and blackberry notes. It has tart acidity and really requires some food to enjoy it at its fullest. |

2020 Arianna Occhipinti SP68 RossoTerre Siciliane Red Blend more |
4/5/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 90 pointsAnother delicious bottle of SP68! As with previous bottles, I enjoyed the light red fruits, lively acidity and savory characteristics of this wine. It is a light to medium bodied wine that is easy to enjoy. It is not for long term aging, however. |

2021 Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du PyGamay more |
4/3/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine has notes of cassis, sweet red fruits, bitter chocolate and dried sage. It is so delicious! |

2012 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les JarronsPinot Noir more |
3/31/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 92 pointsSimilar notes as my last bottle of this wine. It is quite delicious and savory with a nice light red color with a lightly perfumed nose. It has soft red fruits, including raspberries and cherries, sour cherries, green tea, Asian spices, plus good minerality and acidity. |

2010 Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La PerrièrePinot Noir more |
3/31/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 93 pointsI really liked this wine last evening. It came together quite well after it was open for an hour. Lots of red fruits, a little sour cherry at first that mellowed into more luscious raspberry and cherry fruit. It seems to have a number of years of life left. A very enjoyable Burgundy! |

2019 Gérard Boulay Sancerre La CôteSauvignon Blanc more |
3/28/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 92 pointsTropical fruits, very savory with great minerality and a little salinity. I find this wine to be very full bodied, intense with a lot of grip! |

2012 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les SerpentièresPinot Noir more |
3/27/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 90 pointsCompared to my previous bottles in the last year, this one has a more muted nose. But as before, this one has nice cherry fruit that seems to be fading just a bit, plus red currents, spices, earthiness and a savory finish. Quite enjoyable, and probably has a few years to go with its drinking window. |

2015 Domaine Follin-Arbelet Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les FichotsPinot Noir more |
3/25/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe wine has a garnet color and a somewhat expressive nose of blue violets. I like the dark red fruits, minerality and balanced acidity. It is savory with some spices and delicate on the palate, but very dry or perhaps some drying tannins remain that are more predominate than the red fruit. Nevertheless, a nice wine at its apogee. |

2018 Ridge Zinfandel Ponzo VineyardRussian River Valley more |
3/15/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is an enjoyable Zinfandel with lots of black cherries and plums with firm acidity. It should have a couple more years to go on its primary drinking window. |

2015 Robert Craig Chardonnay Gap's Crown VineyardSonoma Coast more |
3/13/2024 - JM_MadTown Likes this wine: 91 pointsAt almost 9 years of age, this is a great California Chardonnay. The nose has nice orchard fruits and the color is a light gold. It has lots of orchard fruits on the palate, great minerality and zippy acidity. This is not a so-called buttery CA Chardonnay and I like that about it. It seems like it has a lot of life left in it. |
