2019 Chardonnay Petaluma Gap, Sangiacomo Vineyards, Roberts Road ($31)<\/a>, was simply beautiful. With ripe peaches and nectarine plus loads of acid to provide it a vibrant freshness, it’s oaked, however not overly so. Suppose baking spice and a creamy mouthful that\u2019s full-bodied however not too heavy.<\/p>\nThen there\u2019s CARBON<\/a>, which is, let\u2019s say, not shy. A darkish, inky mix of 48 % Petite Sirah, 26 % Malbec, 22 % Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4 % Petit Verdot, the bottle design itself is as heavy as its mouthfeel (severely, you may use this bottle as a dumbbell in a pinch). You get aromas of black cherries, licorice, and wealthy toasted oak that result in flavors of ripe plum and crushed blackberries with somewhat violet and loads of integrated tannins that provide you with a loopy lengthy end. Once more, not a timid wine and never one thing I\u2019d drink each night time (particularly at $85 a bottle), nevertheless it\u2019s undoubtedly scrumptious for these occasions once you\u2019re within the temper for one thing that\u2019s gonna actually come after ya.<\/p>\nWhat wines have you ever drank currently which can be supplying you with good vibes?
