Wonderful. Balanced. Beautiful. Smooth — a month ago

Mount Veeder Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Black cherries for days within a tobacco/black tea vanilla that has integrated in due time. Dark and deep mountain fruit. It reminds me how much even humble aged Napa can reward. — 3 months ago

I’ve low-key had a long standing place in my heart for this producer

Agree totally. Whats not to love about a well crafted wine from an identifiable climat that delivers this much at half the price point of its neighbors?

Pillastro Puglia Primitivo 2019

"Primitivo, a cousin of California’s fruit-packed Zinfandel, is the godfather of southern Italian grapes. It’s dark, rich and persuasively charming" — 3 years ago

Château Gazin Rocquencourt

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Drank at the end of 2023. Mellow (due to the age I presume) but full of flavors of tobacco and leather. Dangerously drinkable — a year ago

Enderle & Moll

Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2017

So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back.and due to scheduling, my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.

Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.

Decanted 6H.

24-Hour Update:
Nose has crushed bricks, blood orange, ripe cherries, cranberry sauce and wet vines.
Palate has dried cranberry (unsweetened), chalk, orange zest, black currant and dried blackberry.
Seems a little shutdown, revisit 2023+.

Pillastro Nero 2022

Could drink this every day. Perfectly balanced, medium-bodied 60-40% cab-primitivo. Dark cherry on the nose, smooth finish, delicious with steak, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and arugula salad. — 2 months ago

Amador County Chenin Blanc 2020

Opened about an hour before our Thanksgiving dinner; a preamble of sorts. At these early stages, the 2020 Amador County is like a laser beam of lemon citrus. Yes, there are lemon blossoms and minerals too. The acid is racy and there is a bit of a wooly texture too. Exciting now due to its youthful energy but should be fun for several years to come. — 2 years ago
