Cornas Syrah 2023

Very central coast Syrah in character.

N: lovely herbs. Sagebrush. Thyme. Pointed lilacs.

P: fine but pronounced tannins. Cranberry. Early season cherry. So crunchy.

Super super young. But a beautiful wine. A wine of terroir.

Laser-like.

Could be a brilliant wine in 5-7 years.

Viña Casablanca

Nimbus Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2020

N: does not make me regret my decision every time I take a drink. Briefly feels like marines army crawling down my throat but then they hit a river. Mostly pleasant. Tastes like the skin of a white grape. Appealing but not really. Still wine but underperforms my sadness gauge. 9.6
J: light and a bit tart. Not overly dry. Very smooth on the tongue. Light white grape and citrus flavors. 9.4

Nysa Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2015

The 2015 is drinking better after some additional time in bottle. Since I recently opened some Meo-Camuzet Burgundies, I wanted to compare while they were fresh in my mind. This wine reminds me of a New World version of Meo’s village Nuit-St-George. It’s slightly riper in some ways, simpler in structure, and doesn’t have much of that Old World tangy/sour/mineral finish. Cost is sorta close (Meo a little more in most markets), so for me the Meo wins by a SLIGHT margin, but this is oh-so-close. The N-J will likely be preferred by most American palettes. — 7 years ago

Wallufer Berg Bildstock trocken Riesling 2011

A high-acid, mouth-puckering assault on the palate. Tightly wound even with a decant, I can’t imagine this on a pop n pour. Layers of mineral & tart fruit; hint of petrol comes almost as a respite from the onslaught. Ok maybe I’m slightly exaggerating. Cool wine. — 5 years ago

Carta Nevada Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

J: smells like warm honey. Tastes sweet with hints of green apple and maybe lemon? Overall love it! 9.5
N: it smells like syrup that you left on hot asphalt for half a day. If I had to describe the smell I’d say it was fungal. Like sweet but dangerous. Smell wise not it. Tastes like bad fruit juice -which is better than most good wines. 9.0

Gérard Bertrand

Gris Blanc Pays d'Oc Rosé 2020

N: tastes like the leaves of a strawberry with a hint of medicine. Feels like freshly mowed grass in the nose. Texture feels like vodka (very dense but clear alcohol, almost evaporates while you drink it). Smells like inside of a mini van for a mom with 7 kids but she makes them all vegan. 9.4
J: light fruity aromatics, fruity not overly dry, hints of berries. 9.0
