I liked it a lot. Super interesting nose. It was my first time with the winery/grape/region. Really nice way to start a meal. Had it at our old stomping ground...Solare.

Congratulations on the Burgundy purge! What did you think of the Colene Clemens? My wife and I both loved it and grabbed a case plus.
Friday we had a bottle of 2011 Paul Hobbs Richard Dinner Vineyard Chardonnay and it was excellent. The fruit was present but not overbearing, a bit of butterscotch flavor but not too much, still nice acid. Very well balanced, drink now I don't believe it will get better.

Funny - C and I are going the opposite direction. Slowly eliminating cabs and most Rhones and anything high-octane, dense, hedonistic, powerful or however else critics describe their 100 pointers.
We seem to be headed for a cellar that will be something like 80% Burgundy (mostly red but some white) and 20% other, like volcanic wines, dry riesling, high-altitude garnacha and the like. I think our holy grail is “weightless complexity”. Not sure exactly how else to define it but we love it when we find it.
2015 St. Cosme Cotes du Rhone
