Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

Beautifully light and lifted. Salinity and piercing delicate citrus. Wet stone and persistent light but powerful mid palate. Fantastic. Young. — 6 days ago

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2022

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2022 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills wafts up a delicately spicy blend of dusty black cherries, ground cloves and dried roses. It is round and supple yet lifted in feel, with crisp red berry fruits elevated by a core of zesty acidity as hints of sour citrus add cheek-puckering tension. This tapers off long and perfumed with a bed of crunchy tannins that frames the experience remarkably well. I would never guess that the 2022 hails from a warm vintage.

IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2014

Intensely lifted, fresh, and concentrated and showing incredible youth at nearly a decade in bottle. Perfectly ripe blackberries and black cherries are enveloped by aromas and flavors of fresh ground coffee, wet fall leaves, leather, menthol, and vanilla. The wine finishes long and with a crave-worthy mineral/graphite finish. This can cellar for years to come but is excellent now with herb-roasted lamb chops or grilled steak tips. Delicious! — 2 years ago

Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2020

ESF
9.2

Gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo: deep ruby but not opaque, feminine nose of florals and red fruit, tar, white pepper, exotic spices, herbaceous w/lifted - hi toned notes, med bodied, caressing subtle tannins and impressively integrated acidity. Evolving, complex, cerebral, this was my fave out of lineup of 6 — 6 days ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2001

Without doubt the greatest sticky I’ve ever tasted. I nosed it for 30 mins, it was so clear and bright with tropical fruit and light stony minerality. The apricot and mango were lifted over my palate by actual angels who may’ve swiped a taste on the brief journey. Wish I could’ve sat up with a last glass all night, thank you Lenny. 🙏🏼 — 6 months ago
