The 2006 Peter Michael Mon Plaisir has a blast from the past similarity to the 2022 Sphaerics, with a little bit of a sherried profile without being too pineapple-y. Still good freshness here; kinda…
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…
A Bordeaux lookalike from Knights Valley that offers up some old school flavors of red and black currant, black and red cherry, tobacco, underbrush, and some leather. Finishes with an herbaceous…

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…

Earthy plum, black and red currant, dusty black cherry, topsoil, and saddle leather compile the profile of the 2012 Mon Chevalier. A medium attack with a more lithe skip across the mid-palate;…
Notes of dark/ripe raspberry, blueberry, wet slate and granite, black olive, and hints of charcuterie. A softer Obsidian; it continued to become even more delicate with an hour or two in the decanter.
