Gran Selezione Effe 55 Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2018

100% Sangiovese. Medium ruby color. Intense aromas of black cherry/currant, graphite and violets. Same fruits on the palate with notes of forest floor, bittersweet chocolate and dried bay leaves. Nice mineral/herbal note on the finish. Dense structure and vibrant acidity. Powerful and complex, but very well balanced. Very “Bordeaux-like.” Tailor-made for the American palate. Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — 3 months ago

California Cabernet Sauvignon

Such a nice smooth Cab right out of the bottle. Tart cherry overtone, well balanced and should pair well with grilled meat, cheeses, crusty bread. Smooth tannins and no bite. Good qpr — 2 years ago

Concordance Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Noir 2016

Outstanding. Deep golden color with few bubbles. This just screams excellence right off the bat. The nose is quite floral and very expressive. There’s some roasted nuts and buttered brioche notes to go with the grapefruit and cherries. Mint and smoke, vanilla and wet stones. Just plain gorgeous.

Vinous and deep and it just keeps going and going. 100% Pinot Noir from the Aube with no dosage and that shows immediately. Sharp and spunky with more than zippy acidity. I’m in love a little bit. Impeccable balance and structure here. Nothing cookie cutter, this is pure excitement in your glass. Very artisanal and elegant with so much power.

The attack is full of so much tension and personality. Very dry but effortlessly light and lithe. So youthful but that’s just fine. The minerality and texture of this champagne is just superb. Maybe this isn’t for everyone but it’s tailor made for me.

Castello di Volpaia

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

Very solid annata. Medium intensity nose shows cherry cough syrup, crushed stone, a little floral spice. It’s still a bit youthfully textured in the mouth, with chalky tannin framing the flavors, which are of dark cherry extract and savory, stony minerality. Nice acids and pretty good length and cling. Not concentrated but tailor-made for washing down a variety of food. — a year ago

I’m really impressed with this Tuscany vintage across the board for the most part.

Claro Sauvignon Blanc 2021

NOSE: overt green pepper, minerals - sea air. Citrus subdued.

TASTE: green pepper and minerals! Very clean. Some spice (again, pepper!). I’ve never had a pepper and egg sandwich, but this makes me want to try one - seems tailor made. I like it. 88.
