Naoussa Xinomavro 2020
Whoa Nelly that’s a nose! Potent as being nosed out of sleep by my cat in the morning (ps I lied and told him that Xinomavro the grape was named after him, not vice versa). Full of dark red cherry, pepper, herbs (the wine not my cat, he’s just full of Fancy Feast) the palate echos the nose bringing in an amaro-esque element. I want more! — 2 years ago

Domaine Gramenon
La Sagesse Côtes du Rhône Grenache 2019
N: peppery raspberry sauce with lots of garrigue and a few wild flowers.
P: starts out with ripe, rich fruit notes balanced by savory herbs, with pencil lead and stones on the finish.
Had with kibbeh and mezze spread. The allspice in the kibbeh brought out attractive spice notes in the wine, and vice versa. Similarly spoke the paprika on the hummus.
I really like this cdr, Greg liked it less.

Knowing Platt and VV’s reputation, I wanted to give this a spin.
My expectation for a VV white was along the lines of their reds (polished, suave, opulent), but this came across in a different style. Bright yellow in the glass with fresh citrus and honeysuckle aromatics. On the palate this trends more pretty/elegant vs powerful/opulent…if trying blind, I think I’d place this in Oregon. Lemon cream, lemon-lime and a small presence of tangerine with sea salt. Oak is there to frame it but not obtrusive. Good vein of acidity down the middle with a crisp mineral finish. Well made.
I’d like to try another vintage since the notes are so strong, but at the $125+ range, not sure I’m there on a QPR basis. — 12 days ago
