Ma Douce Sonoma County Chardonnay 2015

9.3

Tried many times to upload a picture last night, without success. Feed wasn’t refreshing either.
This had begun its decline. Oxidized aroma when the cork was pulled. Cardboard and lemons on the nose. Palate was lively with exotic sweet fruits and baked apples. Remaining acidity kept this from falling off a cliff. Drink these now.

Same experience, Ron. The site wasn't available at all.

Unfortunately, availability and stability are measures that require attention…

Hugel et Fils

Jubilee Alsace Riesling 2009

9.4

*pic of the white wines* One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time), along with the 2018 Morlet LpD. 2009 was the last year Hugel used “Jubilee” before moving to “Grossi Laüe”. This is Hugel’s “Grand Cru” selection from their Schoenenbourg vineyard.

Undeniably Alsatian Riesling in the glass from first whiff…floral, minerals, and only slightly TDN (petrol) aromatic driven, but noticeable power. Vintage (and age) has helped this reach a fantastic drinking window where acidity and flavor profile are in balance and not fighting each other. Ripe herb-crusted yellow fruits alongside limestone/mineral in a powerful profile. There is warmth to this vintage and it makes an appearance in how fleshy the wine is (which is great). At almost 16yrs, there is no rush, but this drinking window is exceptional.

Need to find a Riesling like this. Haven’t had a great one in forever.

I have a fondness for Alsatian Riesling, especially from the OG producers. These older Hugel wines (either Jubille or the new Grossi Laue designation) are always a treat.

Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 vintage. From Coravin. First or second best old or new Napa Cab nose I've smelled this year. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Phenomenal bouquet. Grippy mountain fruit vibes. Lean and mean up front with some meat and softness near the caboose. Neither directly old or new school but evoking certain echoes of both while attempting to carve out a unique path/destiny. 10.24.24. — 5 months ago

Billet Doux Late Harvest Sémillon 2013

[Tasted on January 25, 2025 at Home with Tom, Kathy, Mark and Lucille]

Purchased during September 2022 visit to the winery. “Billet Doux” means “Love Note” in French. 58% Semillon; 36% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Muscat. Late harvest dessert wine in style of Sauternes. Mango, apricot, mandarin orange and peach fruit, with honey and ginger. Sweet and rich with nice balance.

Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This is simply delightful, bloody awesome actually.
Typical Napa-purity and dito density, yet laced with Bdx-like treble-notes of freshness, acidity and transparency.
Served it alongside maigret/parsnip/anise-jus, but liked it better before and after this fantastic dish.
Score might be on the conservative side…
