2018
A-F Gros 2021 Vosne Romanee Chalandins
Aromatically lifted notions of pink and purple petals splash out of the glass. On the palate the wine offers an exotic, velvety, and rich style, true to the appellation. Overall the wine is luscious, powerful, and expressive with a very specific finesse that the domaine is iconic for. Drink now through 2040.
Drouhin 2018 Volnay 1Er Clos Des Chenes
A charming wine. A beautiful ruby color, intense and bright. A floral nose dominated by violet, characteristic of this wine. Other delicate aromas such as rose jam and a light note of wild strawberry. On the palate, the attack is quite structured with noble and fine tannins, evolving towards a lovely velvety on floral, fruity and persistent notes.
Montelena 2018 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh and dynamic, with cranberry, cola, and raspberry jam. The acidity is laser focused, the spine pulling the layers of flavor into harmony with the wine’s supple, yet dense, structure. The tannins here serve to elevate not overwhelm the kinetic balance of texture, ripeness, and vineyard character.
