Amador County Chenin Blanc 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2022 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: passion fruit, lemon, sea spray, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a wooly texture and lovely minerals. Drinking now through 2037. — 24 days ago

Shake Ridge Ranch Grenache 2017

Just a perfect wine. Opened at the right time, served with the proper meal, and just so grateful for those moments when the stars align and you open a wine you know is good at the perfect time. Angela is just crushing it. — 3 months ago

Vineyard 1869 Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

Truncated family party notes. This wine was so relaxed and comfortable in its skin. Deep flavors. Soft, luxurious texture. Vines this old are so quietly confident they don’t feel the need to try to impress anyone. I hope I reach this state someday. — 2 months ago
