Slight nod over the Rivers-Marie 2013 Gioia (still very fruit driven) and Failla 2013 Occidental Ridge. The Littorai was the most evolved and Burgundian of the bunch. — 12 days ago
Good! The last half bottle was definitely corked. This one was lovely. — a month ago
Lemon gold color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus, sweet floral and complex spice, no MLF. On the palate flavors of ripe melon, pineapple, apricot and honeysuckle notes with lemon zest and biscuit notes, delicate, complex and well balanced, big and full Chardonnay. Long finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and fresh finish. Will age well. Outstanding! While I usually do not decant whites, this one will benefit to breathe a bit! — 2 months ago
Crunchy red berries and blueberry, rosemary and other herbed de Provence aromas as well, lively acidity, lovely balance, doesnt show heat (even though it’s 14.5% ABV), long, lingering finish, beautiful old vine (70+ years) Carignan from a vineyard at 2,400 feet elevation in Mendocino County!! — a month ago
One of the bottles that didn’t go bad in storage yay, very very good — 19 days ago
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose and full bodied with medium minus acidity.
Showing blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, light cedar, vanilla and spices.
This 9 year old Petite Sirah from California is still drinking nicely and good right out of the bottle.
Extracted and very fruity, with some RS on the palate. In your face kind of wine.
Showing nice complexity at this point. Rich with lots of chocolate notes.
A nice sipping wine and good for parties.

Yes, I picked this and yes, it is what I expected. New worldy but enough driving acid to finish strong. — 7 days ago
