Côte à Côte Estate Paso Robles Grenache Blend 2019
Drank it early (needs more air). But it feels like 93. All the balance of a great Chateauneuf. — a month ago

Optimus Willow Creek District Red Blend 2018
Great burger 🍔 wine on a Thursday night.
I prefer this over several of their high end double the price bottles.

A normal blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, and 10% Syrah, the 2018 Optimus reveals a deep purple color as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, black licorice, tobacco, chocolate, and a rocky, earthy minerality. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and silky tannins. This is a terrific introduction into the wines of l'Aventure and will drink well for over a decade. — 2 years ago

L'Aventure 1er Cru - Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Crisp and fresh from the very jump. Fine perlage with tiny little bubbles. The nose features lemon zest and wonderful minerality up front, with a blast of citrus. There’s some apple and butter, along with almonds and the barest hint of cherries. Very pretty.
Chardonnay from Avize, Cramant, and Cuis and the terroir sings here. Very open and inviting instantly. There’s a touch of maturity here that surprised me. The balance is very nice and everything is just so perky. The attack on the palate has intense citrus on the tongue with a little touch of dried herbs and white tea. Long and enjoyable from the first sip to the last. — 4 months ago

Great nose. Rich and lovely. With air this one is really nice. Long finish. The blend here is interesting compared to the others he makes. I’ve kinda betting it’s a higher Syrah mix but need to check. — 2 days ago
