Worth all the accolades it receives. Dry, long, complex. — 3 months ago
McCarthy & Schiering, $11
Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles — 3 years ago
One of my all time favourites.
Last one of 2021 left in the collection. Fell in love with this wine in 2022 during a dinner at La Colombe. Great characterful wine from the west coast. You can taste it’s origin in the briny/kelp like taste with a bit of stone fruit, chamomille/jasmine and a touch of fennel/anise. Always a bit lower on the alcoho and acidityl, which makes it a great early drinker. Can’t wait to try the 2024 with 99 points. — a month ago
Single grand cru vineyard. Tasted twice in two days. Grew on me! — 3 months ago
Incredible. Nutty hazelnut and prune. — 6 months ago
Next level. Best of both worlds. Fruit and acid then nuts and complexity. — 3 months ago
A bench mark 'manzanilla'. Tastes even better after having the opportunity to tast directly from the cask, with a flor layer. — 6 months ago
