Hermann J. Wiemer

Magdalena Vineyard Riesling 2020

BAM goes the nose. Full of banana, minerality, slight petrol, mango, grass, and more. Palate isn’t quite as full. That plus medium minus acidity drops the score a little lower than other Wiemer rieslings. — 11 days ago

Enfield Wine Co.

Heron Lake Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

Quite Chablis like. Just 600 bottles made. Not super complex. More on the subtle side. Lemon and touch herbs 🌿. 12.8%. One of the the producers which are on the burgh side of the spectrum. — 4 months ago

Summit Creek Zinfandel 2022

" this Zinfandel offers forward fruit characteristics of cherry, caramel, sea salt and dark berry. On the palate. This well-balanced line offers a delightful aftertaste that keeps on giving." — 2 months ago

Clear Lake Trousseau

Nate Wall
9.1

Note that this is the “North Coast” Trousseau, not “Clear Lake”. 2022 vintage. Beautiful wine - cherries, tobacco, a bit of leather, rose water. Almost like a very light Barbaresco. Lovely wine. — 6 months ago

Archery Summit

Red Hills Estate Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2009

A classic example of how a wine evolves with an hour or so in the glass! Great acidity, dried fruit on the nose and velvety tannins. I loved this wine at release and am delighted how it evolved. Bright red fruit notes - but subdued. — 8 months ago

Estate Grown Cave Fermented Lake William Red Bordeaux Blend

Excellent nose. Very balanced and smooth. Thoroughly enjoyed to top off the tasting experience in the cave tasting room at Jarvis Estates. — 3 months ago

Forge Cellars

Classique Seneca Lake Dry Riesling 2021

Very interesting and very different from the three previous single vineyard Forge Rieslings we tried. Floral, with a more distinct but still mellow hint of Riesling plastic poncho. A lot of white pepper and cumin, followed by a grassy finish. — 6 months ago
