2017 Ana Diogo-Draper Paso Robles Tempranillo

Ana's top-notch Tempranillo is intensely fruity and flush with plump berry flavors, like taking your pick of the juiciest fruit from bushels of blackberries, cherries and plums, all topped off with a delicate touch of mocha from a year of barrel-aging in fancy French oak. 

2018 Placer Andaluz Chardonnay

Fresh citrus fruit flavors lead on the palate with a nice underlying note of tropical fruit. Since this wine is largely unoaked, the crisp and refreshing acidity comes through on the palate making for a nice thirst-quenching wine

2017 SCOTTO RESERVE TANNAT

This release is an excellent example, with cherry, baking spice and fresh pine aromas and a wonderful structure with big, deep fruit flavors. 95% Tannat, 5% Sangiovese;

Silvaspoons Vineyard, Alta Mesa, Lodi
Nose:  Cherries, baking spices, fresh pine
Taste:  Big bodied wine with deep fruit and great structure

2018 Unconditional Pinot Noir

Aromatics of red plum and autumn leaves are accented by subtle notes of lavendar and boysenberry. The mid-palate offers flavors of Bing cherry, and ripe raspberry, finishing with soft, well integrated tannins with a hint of pomegranate. All I can say is WOW!!!

2020 Beaujolais Nouveau Georges Duboeuf

Gum drop laced blackberry and cherry notes are accented with violet, smoke and herb elements.  supposedly a hint of banana lingering on the finish.  I have to say, not one of my favorites.  2020 really disappointed me.  

2018 Barton & Guestier - Vouvray

Pale straw with green highlights. Great nose of subtle white flowers mixed with white peach fruit. A lovely and intense wine with floral notes, peach and pear flavors.

2015 Borsao Berola

Intense cherry red color. Remarkable aromatic complexity with memories of black fruit and balsamic and toasted touches. Warm and gentle in the mouth, with soft but persistent tannins in perfect balance with the alcohol

2019 Jacqueline Bahue Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc from California is a little fruitier than it is in France, and a little lighter in body and color than a typical Chardonnay.  This very different wine has great notes and flavors of Pears, melons and green apples

2017 CHALKSTONE WINERY CENTRAL COAST, CALIFORNIA PINOT NOIR

This medium-bodied wine offers notes of red cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, vanilla, toast, caramel and baking spice.

COUNTRY: United States

2018 Wandering Giants Barbera

Very interesting California Barbera,  This one runs more on the soother feel but not as tannic.  Blackberry flavors greet you with this wine also with an earth smell that reminded me of a Cabernet Franc.
