Tonella Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

9.2

Good but harsher and more tanic than we remember. Didn’t decant but maybe needs it. Opened up a week later but not the favorite still. Definitely more balanced. . — 18 days ago

Kastanienbusch Riesling 2016

Nose: petrol and white flowers.

Palate: steely minerals. Expansive. Wow. Huge internal projection.

$30ish for a grand cru vineyard. I need to buy a case a year.

Sequoia Grove

Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

This really leans into the darker aspect of Cab. Dark cassis, loads of dark crushed stone, baker’s chocolate, dark iodiney savory notes. Intense in the mouth, but with surprisingly nice acids for its 14.9 frame. Rich, but bone dry. Still tannic, but it’s soft. — 5 months ago

Winzerhof Thörle

Hölle Riesling 2023

This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.
