Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2018

[80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre] Quite ripe and youthful, red fruits mostly, a touch of heat (14.5% ABV), but an enjoyable CdP nonetheless. — 9 days ago

I would call a 14.5 CDP “restrained” these days, and quite rare

Château Gloria Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

WOW!!!! 2017 Chateau Gloria Saint-Julien , Domaines MARTIN. - Bordeaux France!!!!!!! I have finally found an exceptional bordeaux that rocks my taste buds! The color is dark burgundy. The legs are long and slow. On the nose, there’s lots of rhubarb pie and violets! My initial pallet is tantalized with explosions of blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, and chocolate. The mid pallet quickly resolves into a velvety, slightly buttered texture. Then there is a dive straight to the finish with lots of earthy oak and cigar box with a very moderately dry finish. . This is a good one!!!!!! We purchased this in Ireland and brought it home to the USA. Unfortunately, we only bought one bottle which is already halfway gone and I’m sure as you’re reading this, it will be completely gone.  — 3 months ago

Saering Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2020

I thought this was a great wine. Already showed some fresh cut garden hose characteristics! 13.5%. Classic! Big for a Riesling. Had this at a business function so could not write more notes. Wormwood Restaurant San Diego - is almost sold out. 2 bottles left and at 75$/Restaurant a steal these day’s. Get it while it is still there!!! What a wine. — 3 months ago

Wonderful producer and visit. And a vineyard you don’t see very often in the States!

Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos Red Blend 2022

Richer, bolder and cooler than Prelude.
Very good one, but it needs. Couple of year to fully get together and smash all its potential.

Haven’t had in 6 months and it was closed then but wow the nose is wide open now. Gorgeous citrus, apricot, herbs and stones. Really aromatic and very compelling. Palate is very 21 with just “wake you up” acids, a chewy density, and maybe 70% mineral and 30% fruit. So pure and what a finish. This is much more open than in January. Unreal finish. Almost 2 minutes. Wow this is tangy, super juicy and ultra clean. What an amazing finish. Just gorgeous. — 4 months ago
