Les Dijonnais Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir 2027
Very interesting and unique Willamette Pinot. Cherry, spice, and heavy earthy aromas on the initial opening. Allow time to breathe so it can fully open up. Slightly chewy for a Pinot, but immensely flavorful and full bodied. — a month ago
Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux
Hautes Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir
Heavy floral aromas on the nose, light hints of cherry and fruit on the palette, very intricate flavor but still possesses the underlying earthy tones of a classic Burgundy Pinot Noir grape. 2023 vintage, so a little on the young side, but opened up nicely after 30 minutes. — 2 months ago
Clos du Val Wine Co.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
2022 vintage, very unique and bold Napa Cab; dark plum in color, aromas of blackberry on the nose, surprising velvety taste with a smooth finish; not chewy nor heavy on the jam despite its nose. Definitely a different Napa Cab experience, but one I would have again. — 14 days ago
Alta Nova
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
2023 vintage, well balanced, medium acidity, heavy aromas of plum and blackberry on the nose, with almost a faint hint candied sweetness at the end. Slightly chewy on the initial opening, but after 30 minutes it opened up nicely. Interesting color and tone for a Napa Cab. Very enjoyable, highly recommend for the cost. — a month ago
Cantine Volpi
Barolo Nebbiolo 1914
A steal for under $30, the 2021 vintage opened up nicely. Heavy floral aromas, well balanced, smooth notes of cherry and licorice on the palette, decent bold finish, a classic Nebbiolo with a tannin forward taste and long legs. — 2 months ago
