Aequorin Chardonnay 2021
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a hour. The 2021 “aequorin” pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe orchard and tropical fruits: yellow apple, pineapple, starfruit, marshmallow, butter, a mix of white and yellow flowers, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A fun, modern take on New World Chardonnay. Kinda gives me Liquid Farms vibes. Drink now through 2040. — 5 months ago

Ferrando Vini
Etichetta Bianca (White Label) Carema Nebbiolo 2013
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2013 “Etichetta Bianca” pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fascinating notes of ripe and desiccated fruits: black cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, roasted beef, cedar chest, alpine herbs and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. Ferrando’s Carema (both white and black labels) are never short on personality and always such a joy to share with others. Drink now through 2043.  — 2 months ago

Antica Terra
Ceras Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Nose - forest floor, wood, tobacco, moss. Main flavors - stewed plum and light baking spices. A bit of tannic structure but overall smooth and earthy. Like no Pinot noir I’ve ever had. Tremendous! Read the James Suckling review and he has it right it’s moody. But I think moody in the best possible way. — 2 months ago

Aetheric and floral, the ultimate essence of light sour cherry.
This is so pure & drinkable that it (almost) robs itself of seriousness.
Light & pure, cherries & cherries again with floral notes and a spicy undertone.
Light yet present on the palate. Sappy, juicy, so highly drinkable.
This is delicious, Barolo meets Chambolle-Musigny. For a fraction of the price.
Brilliant stuff! — 19 days ago
