Château Saint-Pierre

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

£30. Decanted smell of red currents and black currents with blancmange slightly soaked in brandy. This was lovely with beef but also nice on its own. Smooth with lovely Oak smokey aroma. Excellent price.
Grape 75% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% merlot 10% Cab. Franc.

Château La Moutete

Grande Reserve Cotes de Provence Rosé Blend 2014

Ahhhh, a Provence Rose! It's a very warm night...82F and I'm sitting by my fire...so the perspiration is accumulating and I'm drinking a refreshing Rose that is perfect for a night like this! This Chateau La Moutete Grande Reserve is peach colored, with notes of very light florals, watermelon, and a Sauv Blanc-ness to it that reminds me of grapefruit on the nose. on the palate I get strawberry, black licorice, and a hint of basil. This wine is slightly acidic, especially on the finish (again, reminding me of a soft Sauv Blanc). No tannins, and a grape-fruity finish at the end.   Even though my beloved Red Sox are losing to the Skankees tonight, I'm enjoying this fantastic wine! — 11 years ago

Vintage Porto 2000

I'm a sucker for port, so for what it's worth, very mellow nose , impressive dark grape, jolly rancher grape nose. Mouth - sweet as expected, good fire, solid black fruits, an alcoholic fueled mouthfeel but mitigated by the sugar . Like I said, I'm a sucker for port. Like this stuff. — 12 years ago

Tephra Ridge Vineyard Petit Verdot 2012

Part of the exciting new movement towards "black wine", this PV delivers what one would expect from "the darkest grape" -- espresso tones set in an inky thick body with a black currant finish. Petit Verdot forever! — 11 years ago

A great example of how this underappreciated grape can be made into an excellent wine. This wine is smoky meaty with black fruits, oak spice and a savory, earthy finish. — 11 years ago

Pete. I Could not agree more. I visited this winery many years ago. Very misunderstood and underrated wines. So sad we do not see more of these wines.
