Pur Sang Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Clearly a Sauvignon Blanc, which isn’t always a positive note for me, but the 12’ Pur Sang radiated such energy and clarity that made it impossible to not fall in love with. Aromas of pineapple, lemon, gooseberry, and fragrant white florals intertwined with subtle vanilla. On the palate, a delicate fruit sweetness was perfectly counterbalanced by herbal nuances and piercing, superb acidity, along with a crystalline texture and mineral backbone. Wicked wine as it is now, but it could easily spend more time on its side. — 4 days ago

Brewer-Clifton

Machado Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018

This took some time to open up, but once it did it really sang. All of Greg’s 2018s have gottne rave reviews; based on what I’ve tried so far, well deserved. Has many years of development ahead of it, but is definitely approachable now with ~20min of air. — 4 years ago

Domaine le Sang des Cailloux

Cuvée Floureto Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2022

2022. Medium body. Spicefest! Giving out plenty of love currently altho this could use a year or two to consolidate and advance. Underrated value as compared to both Gigondas and CDP. Covers those same bases food wise and btg. 10.30.24. — a month ago
