This is a delicious wine, lots of minerality, not too sweet or jammy. Very balanced.

2014 Hanzell Chardonnay Ambassador's 1953 Vineyard

Sonoma Valley more

It’s delicious wine, a bit more opulent than a typical Hanzell Chardonnay, more California if you will.

2013 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau

Red Rhone Blend more

11/5/2023 - tpbrown5 Likes this wine: 93 points

Lots of earth and mineral on the finish, a bit of pencil shavings. Not a lot of fruit (which isn’t a bad thing). Almost funk, stewed peppers (but that’s what we ate along side). It’s delicious. If you have a bottle, drink it.

Wow was the word that escaped my lips when I put my nose in the glass. It’s delicious, mineral, a touch of fruit, a little bit of funk. Yum.

Hard to imagine that it’s going to improve from here: lots of green fruit with a long mineral aftertaste.

This is really, really good. The comparison between Napa Cab and Burgundy is over done, but this is a wine that points in that direction.
