2019 Beta Cabernet Sauvignon Lupina

Folks who visited seemed to think this was the most wide open of the 2019s, so I figured I'd give it a go. Well, they were correct, and this wine is really lovely and wide open at this juncture. There is a plenty of tannic backbone so I would have no issue aging for 5-10 years, but drinking really nicely now. It has much less green than the last few Betas I've had (admittedly all much older releases...have put most into deep storage), with nice medium weight fruit, good but not overwhelming acidity, no notable alcohol. Really just a delicious wine.

Wonderful spicy burg nose. Palate is fairly ripe but with enough acidity to balance it out.

2020 François Raveneau Chablis

This is simply stupendous. On day 1 it is Chablis dialed up to 11, all lemon curd and shells. After a day open it picks up a ton of richness and drives a bit from chablis over towards meursault. Yes it's a very pricey village wine but at "fair" retail (150 US or so) it's hard to argue it's overpriced compared to other white burgs.
