Bien Nacido - Block I (1973) Chardonnay

Pale straw in the glass. Just a hint of butter. Meyer lemon and honeysuckle pop from the glass. Notes of passion fruit and hint of graphite on the finish. Beautiful balance of acidity throughout. One of my new favorite Chardonnay's. — 4 days ago

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018

9.3

I’m 92-93 here. I think there is a chance this improves slightly over the next 12-18 months before staying at peak and then trending down.

I don’t drink much SauvBlanc (I’d rather just have bubbles) but this SB is like the Goldilocks of Cali SauvBlanc…it’s not the rich, Bordeaux Blanc style (Melka, V29, Lail Georgia, etc) but it’s also not the boring, forgetful SauvBlanc so many wineries create just because. It has Bordeaux Blanc qualities but with a bright twist…there’s grapefruit, tangerine and white peach aromatically, but even while there’s just a kiss of oak on the palate to round it out, it’s nestled between sea spray, lemon and limestone. Almost tart, but pulls back thanks to the oak. Wonderful QPR here
