Spiced bing cherry, forest floor, ripe pomegranate. Juicy strawberry, pulverized sea salt, rhubarb compote. Fresh lavender and iris, wild thistle and dry leaves. Tense and focused yet expansive and expressive fruit beams with ethereal complexity, exploding with cranberry cocktail and fresh raspberries of extreme purity and depth. Pine cone, white mushroom, and olive tree sit not far behind bringing droves of beautifully clean forest tones that steal the show from pronounced fruit. Sage and Asian spice showcase perfectly integrated stem inclusion while cardamom and cinnamon reveal just a touch of tasteful oak. Iron, clay, and feathered game compliment ever-so-subtle rusticity that quickly succumbs to a distinctly briny salinity. Marvelously balanced, tremendously layered, and excitingly contemplative; merely medium in body with medium tannin and oodles of fresh and juicy acidity. This 2016 Rita's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir by Byron Winery is a simply outstanding single vineyard Santa Barbara Pinot.
.
The Rita's Crown Vineyard is one of the highest-elevation growing sites in the entirety of Santa Barbara's Santa Rita Hills. It sits perched at the crest of a singular hillside and is fully exposed to the fog and intense winds that make growing wine grapes in this region so challenging and unique. It tends to produce thicker-skinned fruit of intense purity and concentration and in the right hands can create some of Santa Barbara's most compelling Pinot Noir. This bottling, crafted by Byron Winery using Pinot Noir sourced solely from the Rita's Crown Vineyard, is an extremely impressive example of the magic of this site. It is packed with pure and beautiful Pinot fruit yet remains quite weightless and lean despite its remarkable intensity. A touch of whole cluster has also contributed gorgeous exotic spice notes that play brilliantly with earthy and savory underpinnings. This is textbook Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir on par with the very best examples of this grape found anywhere in the world.

Have you tried wine from the Rita's Crown Vineyard?
Happy Monday! Last night had an impromptu dinner with my fam and had this lovely little lineup. This fit perfectly with my theme of treating myself on Sunday nights to ward off the scaries! The Sauvignon Blanc is becoming one my favorites I’ve had. The 2011 Foxen Syrah was drinking wonderfully, great fruit and spice, very well made wine with some age on it. 2011 Rapid Roy, which is a Primitivo blend was also just wonderful and paired very nicely with the spicy tacos we had. Perfect way to end the lovely weekend! Cheers *

One of my favorite kind of tastings is sitting down with the right person, learning about each wine, the people who make it, and the story behind the label. A tasting with Holly from Correlation Wines checked all the boxes and more!
.
.
This wine is brought to us by Wes Steffens, who began his career in the culinary arts working with chef Keller at the French Laundry. Wes then went on to intern at the famed Harlan and BOND Estates and joined their winemaking team for 4 years. All of this experience brought him to lead his family’s estate on Spring Mtn, Vineyard 7&8.
.
.
Through the past several years, Wes and family have made lasting relationships with the people around Napa Valley and expanded their portfolio by creating Correlation Wine Company. With winemaker Martha McClellan, they produce a Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Cabernet Sauvignon. During our tasting with Holly at the Wine Thief downtown, we were greeted with some of the best cheese and charcuterie to accompany the wines from Contimo Provisions.
.
.
We tasted the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc (fermented in one time use French Oak and aged for 6 months before bottling), the 2018 Rosé of Bordeaux varietals dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (aged 26 months in 70% new French Oak). All of the wines are structured with a lengthy finish and will hold up very well when pairing with food. Which I guess isn’t surprising after learning of Wes’ background in the Culinary industry!
.
.
With the quality of these wines, I would expect higher prices. So I was very surprised to find the Cabernet selling for $95/bottle. Just another reason to love this brand! If you get a chance, make an appointment with Holly to taste these wines. Or stop by the Wine Thief (next to the Oxbow Market) anytime to enjoy the Correlation portfolio!
I’ve always had a special relationship with the Moon, (hence why I’m not a big morning person) , so when I saw this @lapislunawines wine label in some of my Wine Babes feeds, I had to try it! Lapis Luna translates to “stone” and “moon and the label reminds me of a tarot card •
• This Sauvignon Blanc was vibrant, balanced, and delicious. Perfect for summer ☀️ and the heatwave that is about to be upon us all. I got white peach, tropical fruits and fresh floral bouquet on the nose, good acidity with balanced citrus and stone fruit flavors on the palate. Think if “Sancerre and California have a love affair…” that’s what it tastes like! #lapislunawine #sauvignonblanc #ad #winewednesday
И снова #Ахмадоварекомендует !!
Сохраняйте, наслаждайтесь !!!
⠀прекрасный способ сделать субботу вкусной!!
Совиньон Блан 2й по сорт по распространенности в мире!
Его выращивают на всех континентах планеты
Лучшим считается из Долины Луары, Франция и из Мальборо, Новая Зеландия.
Сегодня мои любимые из New Zeland :
⠀
Insight Sauvignon Blanc от @l_wine!
Это пушка ребят!! Аромат сведёт вас с ума с первого носа.
Экзотические фрукты личи, манго немного минералов и даже специй.
⠀
Вкус тонкий, свежий. Много много персика и горчинка грейпфрута.
⠀
Цена от 1350р
⠀
Paddle Creek (Падл Крик) из Туманной долины от @simplewine, именно так переводится название производителя.
Вино с самого отдаленного виноградника Мальборо а может даже и мира, добраться до него можно только на лодке.
⠀
Аромат яркий, цветы с фруктами. Много крыжовника и маракуйи.
⠀
В послевкусии та же горчинка грейпа.
Идеальное летнее вино
⠀
Цена от 1140р (сейчас на него акция кое где )
⠀
Brancote Estate Sauvignon Blanc (Бранкот Эстейт) - это третья пушка моего рейтинга.
Наследие югославского эмигранта Ивана Юкича который первый в 1934г заложил виноградники в долине Мальборо и тем самым положил начало эпохе Новозеландского Совиньона.
Сейчас кстати бренд принадлежит компании Перно Рекар (Джемесон, чивас, ольмека и ТД)
⠀
Яркий свежий аромат цитрусовых в первом носе, немного травянистого оттенка, иногда ананас.
⠀
Вкус элегантный, сбалансированный.
Крыжовник и личи.
⠀
Цена от 900р
⠀
Все эти Совиньоны прекрасно сочетаются с овощными салатами, морской рыбой и морепродуктами.
⠀
Не забудьте охладить
⠀
И за старание.

Does it get any better than this?
Waiting for my birthday with a great book, fresh fruit, nice weather and a good bottle of @yealands Sauvignon Blanc
This wine is so good and screams Summer! I love it not only for that, but because is one of only a handful of wineries around the world to be certified as carbon neutral and the first ever to be certified from inception. Plus, it’s from one of the countries I’m most excited to visit; New Zealand ❤️
Make sure to try it! You’ll thank me later
