2018 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Rassi Vineyard Sonoma Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91 Points
Black raspberry, black currant preserves, dark sour cherry and sweet dark plum join hazelnut, baking-spice and sweet vanilla scents in the nose of this notably well-priced Cab. Black currant, blackberry and mulberry flavors dominate on the palate, where polished tannins join nut husk, black tea leaf and graphite undercurrents to bring depth and firm the mouth-feel. The result is a gutsy, lingering medley of all that the aromas promise. A fine companion to steaks and winter stews right now, it is likely to improve for at least eighteen months.
2020 Sobon Zinfandel ‘Fiddletown” Lubenko Vineyard Amador
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 90 Points
This is a soft-edged and richly fruity Zin with aromas of dark cherry, sweet red plum, dried cranberry, raspberry and star anise which rise above undercurrents of black peppercorn. It is just as fruity on the palate, with a plump mouth-feel and all the promised flavors along with notes of violet and blueberry. Long, balanced and satisfying all the way, it is a pleasure now and may bring more next year. 1100 cases produced.
2015 Nielson Pinor Noir Santa Maria Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 89 Points
Genteel and pretty, this mature Pinot Noir offers an elegant bouquet of plum tart, strawberry-rhubarb pie, berry compote, nutmeg, coriander seed, mace and baking spice scents. It shows both fine evolution and a bit more savory depth on the palate, where accents of mace, coriander seed, tobacco leaf and a hint of cardamom support fruit flavors centered on baked red plum, strawberry and red boysenberry. A trace note of forest mushroom appears as the wine airs. Dry and softly tart, it is built for food service and fully ready to enjoy. 570 cases produced.
2020 Whitehall Lane Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91 Points
Scents of honeydew melon, stone fruit, lychee, grapefruit pith and preserved lemon create a rich harmony in the nose of this well crafted bottling. It is gently palate-coating and attractively zesty in the mouth, where the same mix of melon, stone fruit and citrus carries through a lingering finish. It is ready to enjoy and will be a versatile companion to fish or fowl or easygoing summer picnics.
2018 Foley Johnson Chardonnay Carneros
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91+ Points
From the moment the cork is pulled this wine speaks of ripe fruit and creamy oak. The nose melds scents of baked apple, yellow peach, pineapple core, toasted meringue, caramel, vanilla, nutmeg and a hint of buttered popcorn. In the mouth it proves as opulent and palate coating as expected yet surprises with a fine dinner-balance. Lingering, dry finished and an fine sipper, it would be a nifty companion to apple-stuffed roast chicken and is ready to enjoy.
2017 Altopiano Pinot Grigio Terre di Cheti, Italy
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 88 Points
Forthcoming in fruit and immediately engaging, this pretty pool-side white offers aromas of golden fig, Sharlyn melon and honeysuckle, with a kiss of citrus. It is as easy-going as expected on the palate, where honeysuckle, chamomile, fig and melon flavors find a genteel harmony. Quietly lingering and gently zesty, it is a fine gulper, built for food service. Best served chilled.
