Cab Franc done so well. 400 cases produced. 53% Franc and 47 Merlot. Both play well together. Some what fleshy in its approach tannins present as the Franc speaks. Nose of mashed currants and dusty roads. Mouth-coating richness of herbs de province, dash of spice and farm fresh blackberries. Finish is dense and chewy. — 8 years ago
A little on the sweet side overall a good tasting wine. — 8 years ago

2000 Cheval Blanc with a blend of almost 50:50 Merlot & Cabernet Franc, even though some reports say 53:47 dominate Merlot (not all CB are dominate CF). Tasted with 03, 05, 05 and I had this vintage a few years back, and I must say the tannins have come a long way- lush, almost melts into the wine. Explosion of blueberry and cassis with tarragon, smoked meats, and bark. Even though it is such a pleasure now I have a feeling it has a lot more to give. — 10 years ago

Named after the venerable Widow Clicquot herself, La Grande Dame Brut 2006 is a blend of 53% Chardonnay and 47% Pinot Noir. The nose is expressive—bioche dipped in honey, baked apple and a whisp of smoke hanging above richer aromas. The attack is deep and vinous, and there is a lovely creaminess at the center. It finishes nicely, with dried honey and chalk emerging when the bubbles have at last ceased. Tasted at Veuve Clicquot's visitor's center. 8 grams dosage | Sample — 8 years ago
Monkey 47 Dry Distiller Gin. Slightly hazy, water white, colourless. Pronounced intensity of perfume, juniper, lingonberry, violets, lavender, orange and grapefruit zest. With water added, more perfume and citrus notes to the fore. Dry on the palate. Warming alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavour intensity. Long finish. Very complex. Outstanding example of a premium gin. — 9 years ago
Very light yellow in color.
Beautiful nose of tropical fruits, strawberry, mango, coconut and citrus.
Smooth and semi sweet on the palate with oranges, strawberries, lemons, peaches and minerals.
Long finish with sweet mangoes.
Nice and relaxing when chilled.
9.5% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago
Great pick for its price. Blend of 53% Cab and 47% Merlot gives it a softer feel. Young on the palate with aromas of red cherries and riper plums. Recommended decanting for an hour — 9 years ago

One of the darkest and richest zins I've had in ages. Full of dark jammy flavors and smooth on the palate. — 8 years ago
Spicy and floral vermouth. It adds such an amazing level of complexity to any cocktail you make. It's not as sweet as your typical sweet vermouth. I ditched my beloved Carpano after I tried this.
Try it the next time you make a Manhattan:
- 2 oz of rye (best with medium bodied rye such as Templeton or Whistle Pig)
- 0.5 oz of Interrobang Vermouth
- 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
- Luxardo cherries — 8 years ago
Rich spicy, full body. Going to be really good with a grilled steak — 8 years ago
I continue to be impressed with Colorado wine. Wonderful weeknight wine paired with a steak, sweet potato, pear and spinach salad. Poured in my glass 30 minutes before drinking to let breathe. Bordeaux blend w/ plurality of Cabernet Sauvignon (43%), Petit Verdot (30%), Cab Franc (14%), Merlot (8%), Chardonnay (3%) and Malbec (2%). Perfumed nose (violets, red berries), good spice and fruit on the entry, medium body, and tannins to last for a few more years if desired (maybe 2017-2018). Becomes more nuanced over an hour, it may pair well with elk or venison if decanted. — 9 years ago
