Aubert

Larry Hyde & Sons Chardonnay 2020

Aubert chards are always fabulous. Tasting lime, ginger, pear, and honey. Full-mouth feel with a lingering finish. A real treat. — 2 months ago

Roederer Estate

L'Ermitage Brut Anderson Valley Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2019

Medium golden color. Right after opening, a honeycrisp apple, citrus, grapefruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate are evident. After some breathing, wine shows plenty of oxidative notes. It has a medium rich, creamy mouthfeel. First vintage to go through malo — 15 days ago

Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, sweet oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes. — a month ago

X-Block Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah

Very early to drink this one but wow! Purple and savory with plum/olive notes. Some nice acidity and present tannins. Check back in ten years or so… — 2 months ago

Roederer Estate

Anderson Valley Brut Pinot Noir Chardonnay Blend

This is a great sparkling wine. It smells almost exactly like apple juice to me and the taste follows suit. I wrote in my notes “overwhelming apple,” but that is not a bad thing. I also got some pear and like toasted notes. Bubbles are lively, makes it fun to drink. Strikes a good balance between fresh and rich. — 16 days ago

Pride Mountain Vineyards

Napa County Merlot 2007

I have a lot of these and most have been ok but this one was further along in its development. Knew I needed to drink these. Faster is the word of the day. — 2 months ago
