Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is dreamy, wafting up with dusty rose, crushed cherries and sage. This flows across the palate with ease, energetic and lifted with a solid core of ripe wild berry fruits that slowly drench the palate in youthful tension. A coating of fine-grained tannins remains offset by a bump of residual acidity, tapering off spicy and long. This is maturing beautifully in bottle. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2024)

@Joshua Fisher Certainly a top AC Chablis for sure, but single vineyards (1er & GC) have it beat, but not on price!

Hard to beat a good chiminea.

Jongieux Gamay 2019

9.2

Bellissimo! This blew the doors off: inky w/gorgeous aromas of foresty woodland berries, darker fruit, spice, pepper, lavender & garrigue… intriguing beguiling. Med to lighter weight but wore it well with lip-smacking dark berries and warm spices on palate. Finish was a bit disjointed but I’d like to revisit in a year or 2. Bump for QPR — 3 years ago

Legit tasty wine here, tons of fruit, but also well expressed secondary layers including some magical spice & minerality. Med weight, sleek & balanced- this was just all around delicious & engaging. Handles its ABV very well - Bump for QPR — a year ago

Good stuff: prototypical CA chard but not overdone - well balanced oak influence and plenty of golden apple & citrus, some vanilla & minerality. Smooth mid weight clean refreshing & w/nicely integrated acidic backbone. Bump for QPR — 2 years ago

Cork was a goner. Nose is amazing- and changed with every bump. Better after 2 hours of bottle time. Still fruity. Price tag 😂 — 2 years ago

@Lyle Fass thank you for this wine! Big, authentic intoxicating Medoc nose immediately upon opening w/Bing cherry, cassis, boysenberry and raspberry beautifully integrated with savory, bay leaf, mossy tree bark, mushroom, sweet damp Earth and vein of minerality. Seductive inky & opaque, mid to heavyweight, fluid luxurious mid palate with solid tannic structure clenching tightly on finish. Strutted w/roasted leg of lamb. Long life ahead - bump for QPR — 4 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Chateau Vaillon Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2008

such value. Producer stored it for you and doesn’t bump price. Some have had premox issies. I’m jinxing myself but so far so good. Super clean Chablis. — a year ago

Sancerre Pinot Rosé 2022

Delectable Wine
9.0

The 2022 Rosé Sancerre teases the senses with curry leaves and crushed rocks before revealing crushed nectarines. It's soft and round with a balancing core of saline minerals. Crisp white pit fruits give way to lemon oil notes. This finishes dry yet thoroughly fresh, with a chalk sensation nicely offset by a bump of residual acidity.
