Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2022

Youthful, fresh and very fruit forward with spiced oak notes. Dusty tannins and a slight grippy bitterness - a bit young but very drinkable. — a month ago

Anas-Cëtta Langhe Bianco Nascetta di Novello 2022

“Ana’s-Cëtta” is the white #Nascetta wine by @elviocogno who helped bring the variety back from near extinction in the 1990s in the commune of Novello, #Langhe, #Piedmont.

The 2022 delivers aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, verbena and Mediterranean herbs. Apple, pear, quince and pineapple flavors then come into play. This quickly followed by a waxy texture, balanced by lime zest, with notions of crushed minerals on the finish.

The winery suggests it is “ideal as an accompaniment to vegetable dishes, white meats, raw fish, oysters and creamy cheeses.” Maybe not as ideal, but paired with rigatoni, sausage and fennel allowed some contrast to expose and heighten many of the sensations…BRAVO!

Montmains 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

This was presented to me at Tasting Group; double-blind. The wine appears a bright straw, nearing light golden color with a silvery, watery rim; medium+ viscosity. No signs of gas. On the nose, it reminds me of the lime tree we used to have in our backyard in Southern California. There’s also some lemon verbena, citrus blossom, and minerals…though hard to pinpoint what kind. On the palate, more of the same with lemon/lime citrus and minerals which are more chalky now. Acid is medium++. Long finish. I thought this leaned more towards its structure so I was in the Old World. Possible varieties being Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay with possibly places of origin being Germany or France. I was leaning towards Rielsing but then I smelled my empty glass and there it was, the slightest touch of French oak. So I called 2018 Chablis 1er Cru, “Vaillons”. I’m not beating myself up too much for missing the vineyard 😜 — 3 years ago

Date Night Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 “Date Night…” Sauvignon Blanc is made more in the Sancerre style than the Bordeaux Blanc style. It’s bursting with grapefruit and verbena; herbal and grassy. There is some lovely acid and minerals too. This is a very strong example of this style in a New World way. Drink now. — 2 months ago

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2019

Cherry blossom, lemon zest, whiff of powder, lime pith candied grapefruit nose. Lemon tart, lemon verbena and lemongrass emerge from warm lemon depths. Chalky and precise, this producer delivers a very pointed and yet complex offering evoking salivation and reverberating with cool herbaceous undertones.

Alcance Sauvignon Blanc 2021

‘Reserva’! Good sunflower oil color to it. Aroma of lemon peels and lemon verbena. Hint of Pinesol? Flavors are excellent. Pineapple without the sugar. Lemon peels without the bite and grass without the itch. A bit of grapefruit too. This is a lovely Sauv Blanc for a steal. — 2 months ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2020

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Les Vieilles Roussanne was matured for 9 months in a combination of old and new oak barriques. It offers pronounced aromas of spring blossom, quince, yellow apple, candied pear, lemon peel and verbena tea. On the palate this 2020 white is medium to full-bodied and framed by soft acidity. Shimmering in a deep-straw color, it ends with a bright finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico)

Vent d'Ange Chablis Chardonnay 2018

Nose has fresh lemon slice, lemon juice on chalk, lightly oxidized yellow apple slice and crushed oyster shells.

Palate has warmed lemon, lemon peel, wet chalk, orange peel, (minor) lemon verbena tea with a sandstone-chalky finish.

A fun, but youthful, Chablis; expect this bottle to show better in 2021-22+.

Yes, this is getting a very slight natural wine vibe the longer it's open, but not obtrusive. I'm gonna have to find his 1er Cru efforts now.
