Château Margaux
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2002
What a year. What a wine to close the year. Margaux magnum. Color is still vibrant. The nose takes time to evoke forest notes, along with dark and red berries, graphite, and hints violet and vanilla. On the palate the wine is incredibly balanced. Dark cherry, plum and cassis predominate but secondary notes of leather and mocha quickly follow. The acidity is palpable. The finish is long with setting flavors of ripe dark fruit. Cheers our evolving palates in 2025. — 4 days ago
Calera Wine Company
Central Coast Pinot Noir 2021
Genuinely good Pinot. Owned by Duckhorn portfolio but still low key. A superscript wine, especially for the price and region. — 9 days ago

Chiara Boschis is the white wizard of modern Barolo. At six years this is tasting amazing, takes about 90 mins to fully flourish but once its there, the wine displays beautiful structure, fine grain tannins, vivid acidity, and a balanced play between perfectly ripe fruit and earthy undertones. My chef friend was kind enough to gift me some fresh black truffle from Piedmont. Can’t begin to explain the harmony in the pairing. Cheers. — 3 days ago
