3.0. A good Marlboro Sauvignon Blanc, but a little dull. On sale for $22.99, usually $26.99. — a month ago

Pale lemon in color.

Elegant nose of citrus, green apples, spices and minerals.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, citrus, lemons, green apples, spices, light herbs and white pepper.

Tangy finish with limes.

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc from Yountville in Napa Valley. Showing nice balance and mouthfeel. Elegant and rich.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and neither bitter nor tart, which I loved.

Drinking at its peak now. Complex and fruit forward. Spicy and tangy.

A good quality wine that will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

I had the 2018 last year, and it is very consistent.

This Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired beautifully with fresh oysters.

A blend of 97% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Sémillon. Aged for 9 months on its lees.

13% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Spicy nose with black fruits, chocolates and light cedar.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, sweet raspberries, plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, light alcohol, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This young Zinfandel from Oakville is starting to drink nicely now. Spicy and rich. Elegant and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose at this point.

A very interesting wine, as the nose shows black fruits, while red fruits dominate the palate.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food.

100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 14 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels. Only 25 barrels produced.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with chocolate notes, cedar, vanilla, tobacco, Indian spices and licorice.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, cola and herbs.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is another terrific wine from the problematic 2020 vintage in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, complex and smooth. Elegant with a great mouthfeel.

Rich, extracted and in your face kind of wine. The nose is really gorgeous at this point.

Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes in the decanter. Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Organic.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

A bit reductive/flinty. Textural, mineral. Not giving up much fruit. High acid. Thankfully none of that cheap NZ gooseberry or cat piss. Pretty nice now with food. I think it I’ll save my next bottle until 2026. — 3 months ago
