2022 Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Mountain
4/26/2024 - wino_tim wrote: 89 Points
Light, hazy gold. On the nose this is open and almost clamorous, leaping from the glass with dare I say old school aromas of baked pineapple, tarte tatin, roasted cashews, marigolds, citrus confit, crème fraîche and toasty oak. On the palate this is medium to full bodied, but honestly, a touch lighter than the nose suggests, with bright acidity and a sappy texture driving flavors of pineapple, lemon and toast. This isn't exactly fascinating but it is tasty and pleasing.

2022 Domaine de Sacy - Karine Millet Sancerre
4/26/2024 - wino_tim wrote: 89 Points
Very pale straw with reflections of green. Classic 21st century Sancerre: bright and crisp but with very, very little herbaceous character. On the nose this offers aromas of green apple, lime, a touch of kiwi, white flowers, lees and perhaps the faintest hint of cut grass. On the palate this is medium bodied but round and succulent in texture with crisp medium+ acidity and excellent cut. This isn't the last word in complexity but there's enough here for this to be both a crushable summertime Sancerre, and worthy of interest.

2018 Turley Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard
4/17/2024 - wino_tim wrote: 85 Points
Deep ruby. On the nose this is genial and expressive, leaping from the glass with notes of fresh huckleberries, blackberry jam, fresh cranberries, crème de fraise and wood smoke. On the palate this is full bodied with medium+ acidity, attractively fresh and decidedly red fruited flavors... but also an assertive and unmistakable astringency coming from alcohol. This is par for the course with Zinfandel, of course, but I find the alcohol jolting here as it disrupts the silky texture and fresh fruit notes.
