Sullivan Vineyards

Estate Bottled Coeur de Vigne Rutherford Red Blend 2015

Ming L
9.3

A charming left bank blend with a high percentage of CF for 15’. Blueberry, cassis, espresso, dried herbs, and lavender. Hint of crushed rocks too. Medium to full body. A harmonious palate with round gentle acidity, lush texture, and grainy yet polished firm elegant tannins. Lingering lightly candied finish.
Finesse and classy, yet so approachable.

Bon Sauvage Pinot Noir 2014

Purple red in color, dense. Blueberry blackberry minty smoke and wood notes in nose. Berry cherry smoke notes in mouth (later morphing almost into cola) with some tongue coating astringency in finish. Strawberry and blackberry aftertaste. A little aging might polish the few minor edges remaining in the wine — 9 years ago

Amazing Bordeaux blend of Sauv. Blanc and Semillion. It has a very viscous mouth feel which reminded me of an SQN wine. — 11 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

J.L. Chave Sélection Mon Coeur Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2015

Deep Ruby with a Smoky floral nose that shows more syrah than Grenache at this point. Nice violet and forest floor notes. A bit tight at first but broadens on the palate with sit and the. Firm moderate tannins - a lovely beefy wine. — 8 years ago

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2009

More burgundian than California in its execution, a sideways moment in which we loosen our embrace of the Sonoma Coast, and get our Mind Behind this masterpiece. You should also mind your behind. — 9 years ago

I have a funny feeling that it’s a “club” wine only. But I may be wrong.
