Bacigalupi Vineyards Chardonnay 2022

This producer is so consistently strong.
Nose displays lemon zest, sherbet and white fruits. Mid palate is less extravagant than previous vintages - which we love. More focus and tension propped up with zippy acidity. Less weight and viscosity which tilts towards burgundy in style. Best Renoveau from this producer. Some of the best Cali chards and Pinots come from this producer.
Katey is the daughter of the producer. Tell her a big handsome black dude sent you…

@Michael Younkins, what a superb question. First, bear in mind that wine tasting is an emotional abstraction. It’s like the study of ethics - a mental abstraction. Now to what I was trying to convey.
My description revolves around ACIDITY, energy, the sensory perception that the wine invokes, in this case. If you re-read my notes, my descriptors come back to a racy/crisp/bracing experience. But remember that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Peace out ✌🏾

Thanks Ron. Makes sense. Great explanation.

@Michael Younkins, you’re most welcome. Another construct would be the snap of an elastic band under “tension.” Squeeze fresh lemons onto your tongue - that’s the tension I’m referring to, just not as aggressive in this case cheers.

Nose - pineapple, lemon zest, vanilla. Taste - citrus fruit and great vanilla flavor, little bit of caramel. Full bodied, with a good balance. Really good! — 5 years ago

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Still delicious and has changed less with age than I expected. Not sure if I should have sat on it longer. It has gotten nuttier with hazelnut becoming more prominent. Still a lot of oak and lemon, with a touch of flint and brioche. It’s — 7 months ago

Modus Operandi Cellars

Bacigalupi Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Even in Its youth, the 2018 Modus Operandi Cellars Pinot from the oft-heralded Bacigalupi Vineyard is more than just approachable- it’s unreal. The nose is already in bloom with oodles of Burgundy-like bramble berry, while the mouthfeel is as silk should be defined.
Frankly, I’ve never had a Pinot Noir like it, anywhere near it’s price. Not even close.
