Val De Brun

Zarate

Val do Salnés Albariño 2025

Soft tree fruit aromas, mouthwatering, lemon zesty, salt aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
My favorite from Albariño class! Perfect pairing with orange shrimp, rice, and summer veggies!

Charme Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Crémant de Bourgogne Chardonnay 2017

I love this every year. Always expressive and structured. 2017 has apples and pears and brioche. Bonus points for sweet cinnamon and baked apples with lasting power. — 5 years ago

Morgon Gamay 2022

Always well made and always a great value. Nose needs some air to coax it out. But then there’s gorgeously pure black cherry and crushed stone powder. Mouthfilling flavors of dark, ripe fruit and minerality. Fairly long finish. Seems very tight, and there’s good acidity and some noticeable tannin, so this looks like a sure bet for improvement over the next few years at least. 9.1 for now but I’m pretty sure there’s upside. — 2 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I adore Jean-Paul Brun, tasted in his cellars in Charnay a few times, and met him at multiple trade tastings in SF that his buddy Eric Texier used to get us into (Eric’s cellars are 5-7 minutes away from J-P). Since he strives for a Burgundian-style, his wines always seem to show great acidity and a capacity to go 5 to 10 years in the cellar.

Bodegas Rafael Palacios

As Sortes Val do Bibei Valdeorras Godello 2018

As Sortes from Rafael Palacios is 100% Godello from 50-70 years old vines. This is minerally, fresh but also complex with great length. For an 8 year old white wine this is quite spectacular. — 2 months ago

Clos du Val Wine Co.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Actually a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Merlot (12%), Malbec (5%), Cabernet Franc (4%) Petite Verdot (2%). Dark ruby color with some purple highlights. Aroma of ripe black fruit, violets, cedar and burnt caramel. Flavors of black berry/currant/plum fruit, black tea, savory herbs and spices. Lingering finish, plush, well balanced with fine grained tannins. Solid value. Enjoyed at Thyme Rooftop Restaurant with Keith S! — 4 months ago

Val di Suga (Angelini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Jan 2026: PnP, picks up air and ready in 10 min in the glass. Black fruit, coffee, fine tannins, a brunello on the elegant side. Nice, but oak seems a bit too much so that somewhat dominates over classic brunello palate — 5 years ago

Petit Ours Brun Côtes du Rhône Syrah

Nose - lilacs, soil, clay amphora and erasers! (Haha) Flavors - cranberry and tart blueberries. Mouthfeel - a bit sharp and acidic with a semi dry finish some tannins but not too much. Look - gorgeous garnet color. Food - went sooo very well with the lamb my hubs made. — 5 months ago
