Grower Collection Calesa Vineyard Five Blocks Petaluma Gap Chardonnay 2022

A superb aromatic 100% Chardonnay, the V. 2022 Grower Collection is entirely sourced from the Calesa Vineyard by the Petaluma Gap, situated in the coolest parts of Sonoma County where Chard ripens slowly, developing pure, vibrant flavors and ideal acidity. They grow Chards from Clones Robert Young, and Burgundian Dijons.

This particular Chard wakes up all senses with its vibrant notes of lemon meringue, some ripened lychees, and baked guava. On the palate is respectfully complex, baked stony fruits in the mid-range and the lemon and mandarine peels continue to dominate to the back-end of the tongue.

Mouthfeel overall, pleasant, savory on soft spices, creamy thanks to its 100% MLF, and enticing oak touch coming from the 35% new French oak the wine was seating on. Great price point considering the quantity produced (1,200 cases) and where it comes from. Cheers!

Los Carneros - Napa Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Robert Sinskey Vineyards Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2015: Medium-bodied. Fine soft tannins. Great impeccable balance. Red fruit dominate, spice, earth & oak. Long smooth finish. Small production, organic grapes, big bright taste. This is a wine I could drink all day! For me, it was the perfect companion for a quiet Sunday evening. Bummer it was only a 375ml bottle but rest assured, I will be adding a few more bottles to my collection. Great week to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

Merlot Vineyard Collection Stoneridge Vineyard 2014

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Showing plums, cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, tobacco, herbs, earth, light vanilla and chocolates.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Single Vineyard Merlot from Washington State. Soft and elegant with nice complexity.

Another delicious wine by Charles Smith. Peaking now. Tangy and interesting.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Better right out of the bottle. Lost some oomph after decanting it for 90 minutes.

Good by itself or with food.

100% Merlot grapes were aged for 21 months in (50% new) French Oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$45.
