Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2014

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2014 pours a garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black and red fruits: blackberries, raspberries, tobacco, black pepper, licorice, gravelly earth and a pleasant mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. The 2014 is in a really beautiful spot right now and doesn’t seem to be losing strength anytime soon. Drink now through 2034+ — 7 hours ago

Patz & Hall

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2022

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus rind, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A nice Chardonnay, ‘21 a bit better! — a day ago

Ramey Wine Cellars

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2023

2023 vintage. Their entry-level Chard juice not too shabby. Slightly fleshy. Hints of tropicalia without boarding that ship with three suitcases and/or a trunk. Ajax-strength acidity to clean up any spills. Teases many possibilities but afraid of committing to any specific one. Still...less than $30 USD resto cost on two cases. Sold. 02.26.25. — a month ago
