Patz & Hall Chardonnay 2015

Sonoma Coast, California, United States
2398 days ago

Pam scored this wine: 94/100

Rich, opulent, creamy, concentrated Chardonnay! Nose of apple, pear, butterscotch , honey. Complex and elegant wine with a lot going on in a glass. Incredible fully bodied wine with balanced acidity with a long concentrated mineral finish. At this price, it is for the cellar and a special occasion.

Heitz Cellar Chardonnay 2015

Napa Valley, California, United States
2398 days ago

Pam scored this wine: 91/100

This is what a great Chardonnay should exemplify - rich, round mouthfeel but not before you get a nose of restrained white tree fruit, apple and lots of minerality. The tertiary flavours are starting to emerge and will integrate with a bit more time in the cellar. Lovely long concentrated finish.

Mas Cavalls

Marimar Estate Mas Cavalls Pinot Noir 2013

Sonoma Coast, California, United States
2398 days ago

Pam scored this wine: 91/100

Medium ruby colour with a nose of cherry, clove and a bit of earth. Ripe but restrained red fruit, and spice and some earthiness on the palate. A medium bodied Pinot Noir with noticeable but smooth tannins. Balanced acidity makes this a food friendly wine. Marimar Estate wines are always a favourite when you can get a hold of them!

Decoy

Duckhorn Wine Company Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Sonoma County, California, United States
2398 days ago

Pam scored this wine: 89/100

Deep berry with a fruit forward nose of blackberry and currant. Lively with medium tannins, easy and smooth. Balanced acidity with a medium long finish. Like all the Duckhorn wines, this one is delicious too.
