Minerality Wine Reviews

These are my most recent Minerality reviews. I drank each of these Minerality wines and this is what I think about them. My opinions about each wine are my own.

Wine reviews by: Jessyca Frederick

Villae (Branco)

2021 Villae (Branco)

A food-friendly white wine (branco is white in Portuguese) was light and refreshing with flavors of stone fruit and minerality.

Tasting notes: bright, stone fruit, apricot, peach, minerality

Tabalí Talinay Chardonnay

2020 Tabalí Talinay Chardonnay

A Chablis-style Chardonnay characterized by mineral-driven, saline, lemony citrus bursts, bracing acidity, and a light body from limestone soils near the coast in Chile.

Tasting notes: bright, lemon, minerality

Roger et Didier Raimbault Vieilles Vignes Sancerre

2018 Roger et Didier Raimbault Vieilles Vignes Sancerre

This particular Sancerre is typical (in a good way) of what you’d expect for Sauvignon Blanc from this region — it’s fruity and bright, featuring a lemony essence on the palate with a touch of minerality.

Tasting notes: fruity, bright, lemon, minerality

Notice: I hold no formal wine credentials. I am a wine geek who has consumed 1000+ of bottles from 100+ different wine clubs and 1000s more bottles that didn’t come from those wine clubs. I do not accept payment for wine reviews, and I do not accept payments to influence my opinions. I happily accept free wine (and I buy wine).

Why read my wine reviews: Wine taste is subjective. What I like may not be what you like. I try to leave room for you to form your own opinions, so I don’t provide a score or a rating. I do point out wines that are an incredible value or truly not worth the money. I note flaws, wines that don’t have typicity (because this matters if you are buying wine without having tasted it yourself), when wines are out of balance, and when wines lack appropriate body.

I don’t like wasting money (or anything for that matter). I’m careful about where I spend my money and my mindset as a reviewer is to be careful about where you spend yours. I don’t believe a high price tag equals quality and I know for sure there are wines of very good quality that are also a great value.
