Chateau Buena Vista Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Enjoyable light Cab Sav, heavy aromas of cherry on the nose, not as robust and heavy/chewy as most Napa Cabs, but still a solid finish once it fully opens up. — 11 days ago

Vista Verde Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

All about the nose on this. Compact, deep core of raspberry and pomegranate. Finish hangs — 2 months ago

Bodega Noemia de Patagonia

Rio Negro Malbec 2020

Medium ruby , violet ruby rim . Lively and freshly fruited , wild strawberry , red plum , spiced cherry . On the palate more of the spiced cherry , red plum and raspberry notes . Light herbal touch . Quite fresh acidity and slightly gritty tannins . Red cherry , herbal medium length finish . This is showing well but will probably age quite well over the next 5-8 years . Really good freshness with elegance and drive . — 3 months ago

9.0

Last had the 2020, this was a notch lower but still represents great QPR. Might just need some time in bottle to resolve — a month ago

Limestone Ridge at Vista Verde Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2022

At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 5 months ago
