1999 Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres Chardonnay

This is a Paul Pernot family wine. They are known in the Burgundy region for their whites, in particular their Chardonnays. Rich, toasty nose with an oak character, but then adds further complexity in the form of nuts, minerally gunpowder, citrus, and ripe melon. Full body with high acidity. Very intense and good grip. Nice butteriness which is not over-powering. Classic and quite splendid.

1999 Joseph Drouhin Le Clos des Mouches Chardonnay

Le Clos des Mouches is one of Beaune's most highly respected Premier Cru vineyards.

Clos de Mouches Premier Cru wines are generally quite rich and complex, the white wines exhibiting a minerally edge and the reds giving a spicy, earthy character.

2012 Ridge Vineyards Magnum Lytton Springs

1 Magnum (1.5L) of 2012 Lytton Springs: 70% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane, 3% Mataro (Mourverde) Dry Creek Valley 14.4% Alcohol by Volume

Lytton Springs has become synonymous with classic Dry Creek zinfandel. It shows potent, ripe boysenberry and blackberry, but also a pronounced rusticity and earthiness often attributed to its blending varietals; petite sirah and carignane. Acid and tannin are firm, yet not overwhelming; in youth, at least, fruit predominates. This balanced, powerful wine becomes more nuanced with age, and it often holds for more than a decade.
