Clos Pegase Mitsuke's Vineyard Carneros-Napa Valley 2010 Chardonnay Maybe NAPA is Shook-up, But Tasting Fine!

Clos Pegase Mitsuke's Vineyard Carneros-Napa Valley 2010 Chardonnay, $20.95-$29.99, 90 points, appeared a deep rustic gold color.
Cantaloupe and tangerine aromas were okay.
This near full-bodied Chardonnay showed fair acidity, lush/smooth texture, and Napa Valley Terroir without being too over-the-top with oak or typical buttery notes that resemble slopped on buttered toast.

The Clos Pegase Mitsuke's Vineyard Carneros-Napa Valley 2010 Chardonnay was a very good partner with my sautéed Red-fish and Crab Rangoon.

Napa Earthquake Necessitates Easing The Burden: Drink Napa Wines!

It has been a while

 since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake,

 and at first I had NO idea just how much damage yesterday's Napa Valley earthquake had done, and also the likelihood of aftershocks,

 but the one thing I do that might help

 my friends in Napa Valley is to drink and promote their wines;

so, I'll have at it!

Please think of Napa when you buy wine!

Segal's Fusion (Israel) 2012 Chardonnay/Colombard Dry White Wine,
 $13.99-$15.99, 89 points, poured a very light brass color and transitioned water clear to the glass edge.
The exotic aromas of melon, apple, pineapple, honeysuckle, and other flower notes were spectacular.
Tart lemon and grapefruit with grassy notes left me wondering why this wasn't a Sauvignon Blanc! Neither fish nor foul, the Fusion White Wine was delicious, showing a near medium body with good acidity, definitely dry, flavors that mirrored the aromas, and finished long on tart citrus notes and a well integrated 13% alcohol.

I've only been buying the 2013 Sauvignon Blancs, but when I saw the Waterstone offered, though a 2012, I jumped on it, and I'm very glad I did.

The rather smooth medium-plus body carried good acidity and layered mild-plus tannin.
Coffee, licorice, blackberry, Boysenberry, and plum were juicy and well balanced.
Finished well with spice, black cherry cordial, and some warmth from the 14.2% alcohol.
Those that know me, know I'm not a Merlot kind of guy, but when Jim from the NHLS gave me his opinion that this was the best Merlot he had ever had, and after I just had the 'best' 2013 vintage SB wine, which too was a Merriam Vineyards wine, I didn't hesitate to grab this one; I'm glad I did!  If you have a propensity to drink Merlot red wine, and don't mind spending a few extra green-backs, then this just might be the best Merlot you've ever had.

The aromas of lemon-grass and honeysuckle were faint, but were lovely.
A light bodied white wine with good acidity, and tenuous flavors of grapefruit, lemon-grass, ripe honeydew melon, a floral component, tangerine, and an unusually prominent alcohol (13.2%) which carried deep into the fair flash/finish of ginger notes.
Texturally, white wines tend to transition from crisp-cold to a more creamy-warm, and this was especially true of the Bommarito Napa Valley SB (see Sur lie aging).
Paired well with my Maine Lobster roll.

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi - Castello di Pomino 2012 Chardonnay

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi - Castello di Pomino 2012 Chardonnay, $16.99-$19.99, 90 points, poured a light golden color with just the faintest lime-green hue.
The aroma was subtle apple and tangerine, while the near medium body delicately carried fair-plus acidity with flavor hints of lemon and cool-wet stony minerals.
Finished as it began, gently with a touch of ginger and a well integrated 12.5% alcohol.
Pomino Chardonnay is nothing like a Cali Chardonnay, but whispers what most Cali's shout, and just might take some time adjusting to.

Grgich Hills Estate Napa Valley 2011 Chardonnay

 

 

Grgich Hills Estate Napa Valley 2011 Chardonnay, $40.69-$49.99 (NHLS gift card applied), 93 points, appeared as a burnished brass color with a bronze tint.
Apples, cantaloupe, tomato juice, and flowers on the nose were good.
Medium to almost medium-plus bodied, soft, though crisp, yet substantial, clean, complex and bright, no over-the-top caramel, vanilla, butter, or alcohol here (13.5%).
Those that know me know that I prefer Sauvignon Blanc over Chardonnay, but if more Chardonnays tasted this good that could change; the queen of white wines just might take back her throne.
There is a touch of vanilla, but just a touch, and there's apple, peach, wet stone, a floral component, and mystery melon.
Finished long on the trailing palate with just a touch of ginger and vanilla.

Duck Pond (Fries Family Cellars) Willamette Valley 2012 Pinot Gris

Duck Pond (Fries Family Cellars) Willamette Valley 2012 Pinot Gris, $9.34-$13.99, 84 points, appeared a very light lime-green trending water clear.

Finished fair, but a bit thin on the trailing palate with some of the 14.1% alcohol filling the void.
This is quintessentially a summer white wine that will not interfere with your cuisine at all, and will hardly be noticed.

A toasty boysenberry with hints of coffee on the nose were good.
Near full bodied with fair acidity, smooth, layered easy tannin, and flavors that matched the nose with blueberry and cola notes.
Finished well on the trailing palate, plum, violets, just hint of white pepper, and a well integrated 14.3% alcohol.
I tend to think this Syrah has peaked; so buy to drink now.
Another amazing value red wine that every dyed-in-the-wool Merlot lover might want to taste!

Finished okay with a touch of the 14.1% alcohol  and sparse black pepper.

The moderately smooth medium-plus body carried good acidity, mild-plus tannin, and flavors that reflected the bouquet with the addition of a slightly sweet cola note.
Finished long on a spicy white pepper, red licorice, and a well integrated 14.5% alcohol.

Groth Napa Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $9.00 (NHLS-promotional gift-card applied)-$24.99, 91 points, poured a polished bright bronzed-yellow color trending gray toward the shallow glass wall.
Though the apple/grapefruit aroma was subtle, it was quite good.
Aggressive light bodied Sauvignon Blanc with near austere acidity, high alcohol (14.2%), rather cut and dry white wine that somehow (I'll call it "balanced") works; had a straight-forward flavor profile of vanilla, minerals, and pome.
Finished very long on that alcohol, ginger, a hint of spearmint, and white pepper.

Duckhorn Napa Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $25.60-$28.99, 92+ points, began a very light brass color trending near water clear.

Light-plus body was more crisp than previously tasted vintages, and carried good acidity with a lovely roundness.
Flavors mirrored the nose, finishing with a touch of the 13.5% alcohol, ginger, and some tart citrus.

Market Basket, Giraffes, and I did NOT buy this wine at Market Basket!

Riebeek Cellars Swartland-South Africa 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $8.10-$9.00, 86+ points, is a small gesture of support for my friends at the Londonderry Market Basket Super Market. It's been over two weeks since I've been to any Market Basket, because there's no way I'd ignore a boycott where my friends were sticking their necks out and standing there pleading for my support.

This wine (for the record) was bought next door at Hannaford's.

Riebeek Cellars Swartland-South Africa 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, appeared near water clear trending slightly gray with a touch of lemon yellow.

The nose was subtle lemon-zest, honeysuckle, fresh-cut hay, and grapefruit.

Light bodied with fair-plus acidity, a slight spritz, wonderful (though a bit thin) flavors or grapefruit, watermelon, cantaloupe, and kiwi.

Finished well with pepper notes and a hint of the 13.5% alcohol.

Sileni Marlborough 2013 Sauvignon Blanc

Sileni Marlborough 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $10.99-$12.99, 91 points, appeared a very light brass color trending almost water clear toward the glass wall.
Bright aromas of white grapefruit, lemon grass, and orange blossoms were lovely.
The light crisp body of good acidity and medium Sauvignon Blanc typical texture carried all the good flavor notes of Gooseberries (the aroma notes), and carried those into a long finish with a touch of black pepper and ginger with a hint of the 12.5% alcohol.
This is why Sauvignon Blanc is the Premiere wine of New Zealand.
