Kindeli Otoño Nelson Gewürztraminer Blend 2019

I would drink this every day. Floral delight. Orange wine technically. Perfect summer wine and my favorite of the Kindeli selection I’ve tried so far this vintage. — 5 years ago

Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Les Murgers abuts the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Vineyard of Champ Gain. Wow, this is a bargain! Elegant nose of ripe stone fruits, citrus and bits of vanilla and biscuit. On the palate ripe apple, peach and pear with lemon zest and some sweetness. Lingering, rich ending with an underlying mineral character. — 6 years ago

Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2013

One of my go-to SB's for the summer. Love the big tropical fruits. Russell is a stud in pretty much everything he touches. Down to my last couple of bottles of the '13 but it is still killing it — 8 years ago

On The Road Grenache 2012

Terrific offering from Russell From. His wines are great, but I think they need a couple of years to settle down. And this one has. Has great primary fruit aromas of boisenberries, black raspberries, and "grapes"! Great acidity with gives it persistence through the mid-palate, this wine has a nicely balanced finish. Not sure this has a lot of of years ahead of it, but there's no point waiting! — 9 years ago

Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 10 years ago

Cuvée Alex Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Excited to check in on this! Harmonious, lengthy, and heady with its perfume. Great memories of tastings with Bobby at my old job, this cuvée named after his son was always a highlight. To me it really focuses on the synergy that old vine Grenache and Mourvèdre can have. There’s a perfect balance of soaked red and black fruits, garrigue, and an exotic spice savoriness that I just love. Structural compliment is there, with the Mourvèdre’s tannic backbone countering the mid-palate weight of the Grenache. As with many 2012s in the Rhône, this has such a great personality, a match of elegance and richness that bring so much joy in the glass. Perfect for turkey day! — 6 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Inaugural vintage of a truly great wine. This wine is pre- Russell Bevan - Luc Morlet is the wine maker. The wine is so soft at this point with a finish that persists in such a harmonious fashion. Absolute treat. The fruit is dark and delicious. The alcohol is >15% but the wine is so well balanced, the alcohol does not seem out of place. Great wine. — 6 years ago
