Any source guesses on this one? I would guess that a $50 SB from Paso is rare and I would further guess that Vina Robles doesn’t sell one that high.
Also, does it sound like oak aging or stainless steel aging to you all? I am worried that it is a “reserve” SB with oak aging.
Interested in this one for some friends.
Anyone who thought these guys were going to roll over because of cams new misadventures were wrong because they are rolling out descent deals daily
A guess would be Daou, price and geography match. DAOU Vineyards | 2023 ESTATE COLLECTION SAUVIGNON BLANC
Tasting notes are not a direct match, but some similarities '23 vs '24. The Daou does see some new oak, which I would not have guessed reading either note.
I thought dN was dead to all of you - no?
Just having fun - and hoping all on this thread are having fun snooping and drinking!!!
Cheers!
Not dead to me. I’m interested in having both as options. I expect to buy quite a bit of 2023 offers. So can better hurry up before I run out of storage and money. (I think I’ll run out of storage before I run out of money).I didn’t buy the founding membership. So I’m a free agent.
Not dead to me either. Might be dead once Cam begins with his new offers, we will see, but a little competition is good! Plus, dN still offers the rewards program, so that keeps it attractive.
FWIW, I reached out to support about the oak treatment. They said for some lots they receive details about the production & aging from their source and other times they don’t. In this case they said they didn’t receive that info and can’t say one way or the other (or maybe their agreement restricted that info). I suppose in this case you just have to go by the description, which would lead me to believe this has low-ish oak treatment. I’m on the fence because I could really use some daily drinker Sauv Blanc for pool side this summer! I will be disappointed if it lends more to Fume blanc style, which can be great with food, but not ideal on a hit day when you need something crushable.
Must be very Nice Chardonnay?
Butt, the Silence
is deafening….
I wavered on this one. While the note makes it sound delicious, I was wishing it was $20 cheaper. Also, I have less than no space to put this. In the end, I bought it anyway.
Wondering what the decision would be to purchase 556 over 474? I noticed 474 got positive feedback. Trying to decide which one to purchase…
dN 474 | 2023 ($10 T1/ $23 BS) vs dN | 2024 ($15 T1) vintage Green Valley of Russian River Valley Chardonnay.
Yikes…50% YoY dNflation!
tarrible or tarrific?
i’ll show myself out.

Is/Are the terms “Red Blend” & “Proprietary Red” interchangeable?
Legally equivalent? Identical? Hmmm….
Interesting, can’t be that many reserve bottlings at 60 per even in sonoma, can there?
My first guess is that this is up north, more north than most would guess. Pine Mountain, Northern Alexander Valley or Dry Creek. Whatever mountains exist up there. I say that because $60 is not all that expensive for a Reserve Cabernet.
Peterson Winery on Bradford Mountain came to mind, but I don’t see that they offer a reserve Cab for $60. Their regular Cab is around $45.
