2016 Forlorn Hope Chenin Blanc
10/18/2019 - Wackogracko Likes this wine: 91 Points
This might be my favorite white wine to date. Fantastic balance between aromatics, body, and acidity.
Nose is fully of white flower, stone fruit, and lifted apple lemon and mandarin orange. There are notes of honey and sweeter elements as well.
Palette has excellent body with a great crisp acidity from the Riesling. Lots more peach, apricot, honey, with subtle notes of white rose, sweet lemon, a touch of creaminess, and marmalade.
Fantastic. Drink cool but don’t over chill for maximum aromatics. Beautiful!

NV Château d'Arlay Côtes du Jura Reserve
10/13/2019 - Wackogracko Likes this wine: 88 Points
Underripe red fruit, organic earth on the nose. Palate is similar to the nose with a thinner mouth feel. Finer tannins are a bit more present than the acid, but the finish is still fairly balanced. Wine is not overly complex, but drinks well and pairs well with food. Wine has a bit more character at cooler temps, Drink slightly cooler around 55F.

2017 Forlorn Hope St. Laurent Ost-Intrigen ricci
10/7/2019 - Wackogracko Likes this wine: 90 Points
Poured slightly chilled and kept cool throughout drinking.
Very light, very drinkable St Laurent grown in Carneros. On the nose, it has a light green component, subtle undertones of underripe red fruit, and some light dust or dirt. The palate is thin, soft, and almost tannin-less with mild acidity. Upon initial opening, there’s a very subtle funk that dissipates over 30-45 minutes.
All in all an excellent low alcohol presentation of a cool climate fragrant forward grape. Very drinkable and a great alternate to your every day Pinot.
