2021 Daou Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
4/22/2024 - cono_sur Likes this wine: 93 Points
This blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Petit Verdot has a fresh, medium-high intensity nose of dried herbs, red & black fruits, currant, cassis, and fine wood spice aromas. On the elegant, medium-full to full-bodied it palate it has spicy aroma replays which are supported by smooth, well-structured tannins and very good acidity. The long, savoury oak finish is firmly structured with youthful, drying tannins. Will be even better in a few years and should drink nicely to the late 2030s. Score: 93+ pts

2021 Stel + Mar Premium White
4/22/2024 - cono_sur Likes this wine: 89 Points
With 60% Mendocino and 40% Lodi fruit, this 100% Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel and aged slightly on its lees in oak. It has some elegance to the medium+ intensity nose which features pear and apple, fruit forward aromas with touches of lemon citrus and earthy-stony minerality adding complexity. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it has a lovely earthy mineral, pear, apple, and spice flavours which are supported by well-balanced acidity. It's nicely textured with delicious pear and apple notes lingering on the long, balanced finish.

2021 Le Clos Jordanne Pinot Noir Jordan Village
4/15/2024 - cono_sur Likes this wine: 90 Points
The medium to medium+ intensity nose delivers black cherry, earthy, and beet root aromas with touches of dried herbs. It's medium to medium+ bodied on the dry palate with attractive tea leaf notes joining the aroma replays on the flavour profile. It has very good acidity and tannins, while being well-structured with very good length on the long, harmonious finish.
