A Super-Expressive Napa Chardonnay à la Chablis, well-priced

The first impression with both aromatics and flavor is fresh, stony and a touch reserved. One can tell more is to come. Deeper notes of pear, green apple and a touch of citrus emerge. No wood up front, only fresh yeasty fermentation/fruit aromas are present at first. The wine seriously evolves with aeration and a […]

Diamond Creek Cabernet at 1/3 the Price

  Michael Klopka purchased the 150 acre estate in 1998 atop Diamond Mountain, but it wasn’t a palatial estate – even a “Diamond in the rough” was an understatement.  It was densely forested, nearly inaccessible woodland tract that choked sunlight.  It took a while to clear, and create 2 parcels (Cori and Sophie) totaling six […]
