At the French Laundry. An invigorating and lively example of Sauvignon Blanc. I have enjoyed this wine on a number of previous occasions and each time it delivers a complex and captivating array of…
Solid showing, especially for the first hour or so of consumption. There was a bit of heat to blow off on the initial pull, but it settled nicely into its groove with a gorgeous display of kiwi,…
Still awesome. Even better than a year ago. Extremely complex for a domestic SB. Marries suave smoothness with vivacious tension perfectly. Acacia blossom, fresh honeydew, guava, kiwi, lemon verbena,…
Similar to last year, performing like a champ with juicy white peach, guava, acacia, lychee, lime, fresh squeezed lemon juice, grass, and white stone. I'd buy this by the case if it didn't cost as…
Rich chocolatey black raspberry, licorice, and black cherry liqueur rush up front-and-center with the initial kick of fat fruit on the attack. A highly perfumed candy shop of flavor, like a Viognier…
From the first sip, anyone who is familiar with Pritchard Hill knows that this wine speaks loud and clear about its roots. Tension-driven and nervy; high on acid and higher-toned aromatics on the…
Cabernet Franc-heavy on the front end of the attack, with black and red cherry, embers, and violets kicking off the initial push. The mid and back seem to grab better hold of the Merlot component,…
Perfumed and floral, the front end of this purple popper follows up with notes of blackberry, blueberry, red/purple plum, and a hit of charcuterie. A Cote Rotie interpretation from the famed…
Grapefruit, guava, stone, white flowers, white peach, and apricot. Silky smoooooooth and absolutely stunning. A gorgeous mouthfeel with an added lemon verbena lift that elevates the back end and…
Same as last month. Great body and mid-palate weight/depth, notable complexity, and gorgeous lime and grass flavors to compliment the yellow citrus core. Even better with air.
Black cherry, blackberry, iron rust, Kauai red dirt, and powdered chocolate notes pop with an energetic pulse that grabs your attention and begs for another sip. Layer after layer of fruit and flavor…
Black and red cherry, purple plum skin, unripe wild blackberry, and wonderfully compelling dark bitter chocolate notes undulate along the length of the palate with intent and to layered effect.…
Kicking out just as much energy as the 2012 sampled before it, but managing to counterbalance some of its speed with notable intensity and concentration, the 2016 Jumping Goat catapults notes of…
A blast of grippy and floral-laced red raspberry and cranberry notes launch on to the palate with a Fast and Furious "Kapow!" that initially leaves a numbing and slightly bitter effect. With some…
Fresh lemon juice and zest, lemon verbena, dry grass, lime zest, subtle vanilla-coconut pina colada, and trailing tropical fruit notes make up the profile of this beautifully crafted Sauvignon Blanc.…
