The Menagerie

I. et S. Bernaudeau

Les Nourrissons Anjou Chenin Blanc 2018

Worth it. A menagerie of dried fruits and nuts, crème brûlée and salted caramel. Precise but not in a Chenin-way. — 24 days ago

Grenache Blanc Grenache Gris 2020

very yummy. heavy, alcohol forward, more toward a chardonay. would be good with charcuterie — 3 years ago

Vietti

Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2016

A heady menagerie of fruit and floral aromas, intense fruit flavors balanced by a driving acidity. Raspberry, plum, cherry, and blackberry, both fresh and candied characteristics. Oak further balances the fruit further but plays nicely and I want more — 6 years ago

Dandelion Vineyards

Menagerie of the Barossa Grenache Blend

Spivey, full bodied, smooth, Smokey/chocolate notes. Smooth finish, dark berry, med/med + tannins — a month ago

Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Refined. It has a lot going on but all well integrated, somehow showing age already but in a very pleasant way. Fresh, yet lightly oxidized with intent, a menagerie of fruits and soft spices. Very delicious, special occasion given the price point, want to try more Bordeaux of this status — 3 years ago

Laherte Frères

Ultradition Brut Champagne Blend

Nice medium dosage brut with loads of flavor. Mag became lees-y and rich as we approached the finish and it warmed. Mineral and lime interplay was superb. Gorgeous golden Buddha hand zest, pith menagerie, and a tangy white berry. .

Martin Woods

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Franc 2017

Oolong tea leaves, herbal menagerie, gorgeous floral lift. Cassis and currants, leather and iron. Lithe frame. Perfectly balanced acid with crunchy tannins. Nimble across the palate, but with depth and complexity at every turn. A lingering finish that keeps on giving. Gorgeous wine. — 4 years ago

J. Lassalle

Preference Brut Premier Cru Champagne Blend

Menagerie of fruit; apples, pears, and nectarines. Yeasty/biscuitty characteristics secondary to the fruit. Excellent balance, the brightness of the fruit makes for a nice highlight in place of totally relying on acidity — 6 years ago
