2016 Kutch Sonoma Coast PN
For me, there has been a clear difference since Jamie switched the vineyard sources for the cuvee. This had an elevated level of clarity, purity of fruit and focus, all while being approachable. For me, his best SC PN yet.
2016 Model Farm Chard
Wow, has this ever come along nicely in a year. Super expression of Santa Cruz fruit, brimming with mineral life and zippy tasty lime fruit with just a touch of pear around the edges. How will I manage to keep my hands off my 4 remaining bottles? Thumbs up!
2018 TENZ SB
Tom Eddy’s New Zealand project. I often like having a case of this around as a sort of house wine. Opened my first and as is usual, not disappointed—got what I wanted in a steely acid-framed drink with plenty of lemon and grapefruit and very little of the gooseberry/nettles/capsicum thing going on. Should age nicely for a few years, really wakes up the palate.
Maluhia,
Mike
