Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red berries, cedar and chocolate notes.

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

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, blueberries, oak, licorice, cola, coffee, peppercorn, light earth and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is elegant and not 'in your face' kind of wine, which is nice to see out of Napa. Tasty and easy drinking.

Good by itself as a sipping wine and would pair nicely with a burger.

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

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Morgaenlee Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022

"Odedi"

9.2

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.

92 points.
