An Albariño grape wine out of Napa is very rare and uncommon, but found this interesting and so lively on the pineapple, grapefruit and other tropical aromas, crispy, fresh and it has a very clean finish. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side, loved the hints of Quincy after taste as well. — 8 days ago
This Cab Sauv from the Rockpile Ridge, Sonoma County is a multi-layered, progressive and intense wine. Hugging notes of dark berries, and a hint of black Forrest on the nose, on the palate dominates licorice, espresso and quite chewy tannins. Warm and concentrated towards the end. A powerful wine that evolved after opening to the other side of the spectrum in terms of smoothness. Out of the ordinary from Sonoma. — 9 days ago

Aromatic and casual Pinot Noir sourced from vineyards out of the Russian River valley and diverse location within the Sonoma Coast AVA. All red fruit flavors, ripe cherry, a bit earthy and peppery at the end. Not so oaky but toasted enough. It has a clean and smooth finish. Nice! — 9 days ago
A hidden gem straight out of Bel-Air, a sophisticated Sauv Blanc vinified to age. Floral and tropical fruit notes on the nose, on the palate it welcomes you with some hint of dried peach and moderate citrus. It has some texture and a bit weight, yet it remains crisp on the mid range of the palate and has some distant but palatable candied white fruits. Drink not or cellar it for a later stage as this can easily age. — 9 days ago
Very powerful, intense and gripping red wine dominated mostly by Cab Sauv. at 93%, with small components of Malbec 6% and Cab Franc 1% shows a solid concentrated red fruits, licorice and mint notes, on the tastel, a noticeable herbaceous with persistent tannins, dry and punchy, typical from the Howell Mountain in Napa valley. It will show more of its potential in the next 2-3 years. Still climbing to reach its peak. Cheers! — 8 days ago
Vibrant, elevated acidity and lemon zest top to bottom. All tropical notes on both nose and palate. Fresh, crisp and dry. Tangy but not tarty with a clean finish. Ideal pairing shellfish! — 9 days ago
This Chardonnay from Yamill County, Oregon is quite distinctive, it is packed with fresh citrus and stone fruits on the nose, and a decent punch of sliced green apples on the taste combined with a dry and mineral driven finish. It’s definitely an old world style Chardonnay. Loved it. — 9 days ago
