Lincourt Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills 2013

 

Light straw hue with ebullient aromas of lemon curd, candied fruit, sour vanilla cream, and a melange of tropical fruit.

Palate--Wonderful first impression of big mouth filling tropical fruit with razor sharp acidity, delicious mouth watering structure with a fruity finish that goes on and on.

I bought this a few years ago and just laid it down forgetting about it. I don't remember what I paid for it but I know it was a song as I bought two; maybe $10!

At 7 years old I expected this to be on its way out.  It is youthful, vibrant, lovely and quite amazing. If I could buy another case of this I would, it is that spectacular. Central Coast is producing some nice wines and this unoaked Chard is proof so raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice.      Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red.  Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon.  At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness  This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
