L&S2020 CONDRIEU Les Ravines Domaine Rémi Niero
Northern Rhône Rhône France 13.5% White
Viognier.
Not as expressive as 19, but a slight change in style detected, more linear & precise. Peach & melon notes, with mineral salinity too, finish off with a floral violet tone, really impressive.

L&S2021 OSTREA Vernaccia Di San Gimignano Mormoraia

The vineyard here is laden with bits of ancient oyster shells from the times when this part of Italy was under the sea, and this is where the name Ostrea comes from. As you might hope there is a good mineral line coursin...(read more)
L&S2020 SAINT JOSEPH Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott
Northern Rhône Rhône France 13.5% Red

If there was a wine region that is in focus and a region of the moment then St Joseph could lay claim. There are two distinct styles, north & south. The G&J Bott Saint Jospeh Rouge is most definitely the north. 3...(read more)
