3.2 A nice Bordeaux blend, but with a somewhat flat aftertaste. Perhaps the 2020 was affected by the fires. On sale for $32.99. — 11 days ago

This lovely rosé is starting to show some age - I’ve had the bottle at least six years so understandable that it has toasty pastry and brioche notes along with a hint of hazelnut, dried cherry and candied raspberries. Very appealing - clean, crisp and refreshing. Very much the PJ style of medium-bodied wine and a lovely color approaching tawny. — 2 months ago

Very young and accessible, suspect will stay this way for another 9 to 12 months perhaps. Good stuff.

I don’t drink a lot of Pinot Grigio or Gris. I used to when I was studying for my Master Court exam as it was a testable grape. Not a varietal that lights up most palates.

I bought this to make my Veal Bolognese for tomorrow night’s Olympic watch in my backyard w/ friends. Thought I’d try it since I went to K&L to buy it and all. Had orders to pick up as well.

It’s not bad for $13. The nose shows the craziest notes of pineapple, topical melon w/ baseball card chewing gum. Can’t say I’ve strung those words together in the same sentence. Notes of apricot & nice chalky minerals.

The palate is round with nice waxy viscosity. The pineapple is overly ripe, semi-dry apricots, tropical melons, underripe Meyer lemons, hints of tangerine, inside banana skin, whip cream, tiny bit of caramel, has the same tropical baseball card gum as the nose but less impactful, light, soft, white spice that give a bit tartness & bitterness, sandstone powder, yellow flowers, spring flowers and jasmine, nice, round acidity, with a round, rich, well balanced, elegant finish that fall on dry earth and lasts nearly a minute.

Guess I enjoyed it as I poured a bit more.

Picture of the Veal Bolognese is still under construction. — 4 months ago

Southern Rhône blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre & Grenache. Medium plus body and acidity, nicely balanced. Good intensity and complexity.
As expected from this region ripe red & black fruits with plenty of secondary and tertiary notes. Picked up vanilla, mushroom, tobacco, earth, wet leaves and black pepper. Slightly astringent tannins. Could do with a little more aging. — 4 years ago
