A very expressive Chardonnay from a single vineyard in Sonoma considered one of the top sites in California. Powerful but not overwhelming on the nose and palate. Shows its multiple tropical fruit notes on both nose and palate. Since it’s 100% barrel fermented with native yeast and full of malolactic, it provides a great level of complexity. The creaminess is balanced and has some weight to it. Long finish and pleasant mouthfeel with a great texture. A show stopper!

An amazing entry level of Amici’s Cab Sauv. blend (80% Cab Sauv, 7% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cab Franc). Solid and never disappoints. It offers a great abundance of black berries and dark cherry on the nose, pleasant mouthfeel, velvety, smooth, progressive and intense. Tannins are rounded and it has a potential to age. — a month ago
A typical Sonoma Coast AVA Chardonnay, uplifting acidity, baked pear, and some hint of ripen tropical fruits. Feels just a touch of custard cream and subtle toasted nuts. Dry enough to keep sipping and pairing with roasted veggies and light fish appetizers. — 2 months ago

No formal notes . Pretty deep Amber , copper colour . Intense marmalade , saffron , creme caramel . Rich on the palate with rich marmalade , saffron notes . Good acidity , but rich. Good length . This is drinkable now and shows quite an advanced colour , though due to its richness will probably carry on delivering for another 20 years , perhaps longer .
This was a rather fascinating evening put together by our incredibly generous host. All 2007 reds were served blind in two flights: 1st Mouton, Haut Brion, Cheval Blanc , La Mission Haut Brion then Latour , Lafite , Petrus and Margaux . Overall the wines showed well , and were mostly enjoyable to drink now , though there is no rush . This somewhat maligned vintage can give a lot of enjoyment in the right environment, I certainly wouldn’t hold back from opening or purchasing any of these wines . They mostly show good density of fruit , personality and elegance , with good freshness. These are not powerful wines , and at times perhaps the fruit can be a little cooler or greener but I was pleasantly surprised by the way they performed , just goes to show you should never write off a vintage without trying the wines ! — 7 days ago
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. — 5 months ago

Too early but trying before I buy more. Stellar. Lots of upside. Dark. Sticky. Reminds me of a ‘13 Cor Leonis a little. — a month ago
