Saperavi 2013

Sybaritewino C.Lawrence
7.9

#Tannic beast of a wine! #Georgian #Saperavi by #NikaWinery. Have had wines from this #organic producer before that were much softer & more approachable. This #unfiltered offering needed to stay locked away in the #cellar for a little while yet until maybe it could have come around. Its tannic nature is not at balance with the somewhat high acidity. Interesting but very abrasive at this point. Will put a #cork in it and see what happens overnight. Hopefully it will soften and flesh out a bit, becoming something less assertive & better integrated tomorrow. #Optimistic. — 10 years ago

Nose: hint of "lactée", fresh squeezed #lemon
#Palate: salty, barely ripe lemon contrasted by ripe yellow pear Medium-light bodied. Lean, fresh and bone dry. #Mousse integrated.

2010 Diatom 'Hamon' #Chardonnay, Santa Rita Hills, CA. Lush, yellow apple, pineapple, peach, wet stone, round, creamy. Perhaps a little tired. Thank you #composite #cork 16% alc. #jesus #wine #sommelier #california — 11 years ago

Composite corks suck. I either notice a low level of TCA on every single one or I notice oxidation in the wine. This wine was tired likely due to the composite cork. The fruit wasn't as vibrant as it should be and note it's only a 2010. It's also kinda pricey. You'd think a $40 bottle might splurge on a nice cork or heck just put it in Stelvin.

Voltage South Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2012

2012 Hawk Watch Sauvignon Blanc, San Diego County, Cali. A victim of the composite cork! Muted aromas. Green pear, peach and herbal flavors on a slightly flabby finish. Boo! It must have tasted amazing when purchased at the winery last year. #wine #sommelier #cork #corked #sandiego #california — 11 years ago
