    A stylish red, with blood orange and raspberry notes that show a gently mulled edge but still keep a fresh and focused feel through the finish, which is infused with potpourri and rooibos tea.

    Chalk Hill Winery 2024 Chardonnay Russian River Valley

    Price range: $19.99 through $180.00

    California
    One wine that will never be rated, nor see a top 100 list is the Chalk Hill RRV Chardonnay. That’s not a bad thing – it’s just the winery’s ‘secret Chardonnay.’ It’s never released to the general public or retail, only a few hundred cases are made each year to service the restaurant industry. But luckily for us, I’ve got a restaurant. And while the Sonoma Coast bottling is definitely the ‘calling card’ that you’re used to seeing from this great estate, I’m telling you the Russian River Valley Chardonnay blows that one out of the water. It’s a Nicholas wines all-time favorite.

    2022 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Chalone). Precise aromas of lemon and lime meet with undertones of butter and oak on the nose of this wine. The palate is slightly fatter in expression at first, with more butter and macadamia nut, but then recedes toward zesty grapefruit peel flavors.

    The 2023 Estate Pinot Noir offers a beautiful aromatic compilation of red berries, cherry, strawberry, vanilla, toasty oak, hints of leather, and cinnamon. The palate is bright, full and gratifying. Violet, clove, and subtle minerality linger on the finish.

    This beautiful sparkler hails from Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages like Ambonnay, Chouilly, Verzy and Avena. It’s fresh, clean, soft, and dry with bright acidity and luscious mousse. The creamy palate provides flavors of apple, brioche, lemon, almond, dried apricot, pear, minerals, and white flowers. A winner on it’s own and a good companion for seafood especially caviar.

    A luminous, deep yellow-green color with deep lemon yellow highlights. An elegant nose of butter, grilled hazelnut, cardamom, lime, verbena. When aerated, the wine reveals notes of apricot, blackcurrant, plum, biscuit, with accents of nougat, pineapple and toasted bread. Supple, fresh, fruity and sustained by bright acidity. 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir – all Premier and Grand Cru vineyards.

    Wine Advocate 95-97 Rating
    Scents of roses, garrigue and blackberries mark the nose of the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Guigasse, still aging in demi-muids at the time of my visit. It's one of those special wines that manages to be full-bodied and concentrated, yet also pillowy-soft, nearly ethereal in the mouth. A bit more tannic and stern on the finish than the 2020 Le Grand Pin, it finishes long, with a lingering note of licorice. 100% Grenache. R18-2

    Looking first at the 2021 Cabernet Franc, this beauty is based on 78% Cabernet Franc, 7% each Merlot and Malbec, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Red and black currants, fresh figs, savory flowers, spicy wood, and some camphor notes all soar from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and outstanding length. This is a stunning Cabernet Franc to enjoy over the coming 15 years or more. R29-3
