petite sirah

juicy palate

The 2015 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel is fruity

so the growing cycle was quite short

with a fine thread in the nicely textured palate and very fine tannins

Tyler La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Carignan - Grenache - Syrah petite sirahThe 2021 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard blossoms dramatically as it spends time in the glass, opening with saline and crme frache before blossoming to apricot, roasted almonds and honey. The medium bodied palate combines expansive, honeyed flavors with a vibrant spine of acidity and a singular, chalky texture. It has complex flinty undertones and a long, nutty finish. 95 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
