This burly blend showcases how Portugal perfectly bridges the sensibilities between Old and New World. The nose may read as a bold vintage of Reserva Rioja, but the palate has more in common with the riper, denser reds from California or Washington. Baked red and black fruit with licorice, vanilla, and very fine grained tannins. Ageworthy and a perfect bottle to pair with a NY strip. $40 — 8 years ago

Brought this to the Bridges tonight with an '01 Bond Melbury. Both bottles were phenomenal. Best Judge I've had since the '05. Over the top structure, laser focused minerality, slate, brioche, lemon/spice cake. Wowza. — 12 years ago

Rocky like Mount Blanc, minerals like the Adriatic, almost salty (which I love). Grips in your mouth like one of those annoying locks on the bridges over the Seine. Perfect with briny, sweet seafood. Spectacular — 8 years ago

Dark fruits and cola on the nose. Blueberry, Blackberry and eucalyptus on the pallet. Good balance and great value. Pleasant. — 9 years ago

Bessards-Meal (L09223, gold capsule). Getting meaty, but still forward with fresh violets and ripe black cherry and blackberry. Pungent rooibos and black pepper. Subdued oak bridges the spicy sweetness to the earthy, animal character. Deeply colored, youthful and vivacious, the tannins are starting to relax but promise a decade or two more of cellar potential. Paired with Tannhauser. — 9 years ago

I almost don't want to post about this wine as I would like to keep it in my restaurant's back pocket as much as possible. Amazing value. A straightforward and feminine chard with light hints of tropicality. Bridges old world and new quite gracefully. — 12 years ago

Drank 5/28/28. Thanks to all the Vets out there on this Memorial Day.

This is the Yakima Valley Cab. It came recommended from a friend who said it was more old world in style. I think it bridges the gap nicely. Initially I was concerned as this gave more spice and green bell peppers. This blows off after around 40 minutes, revealing layers of black and blue fruit, chocolate ganache, spice, and some green hints when poured from the bottle. Not an incredibly intense nose, but quite complex. Flavors of blueberry, plum, and black fruit are backed up by medium + tannins. Some earthy notes, with spice and a mix of black and blue fruit on the finish.

In Somm: Into the Bottle, Greg La Follette described his commitment to providing value with the quip "I am perfectly happy scraping by and roasting squirrels under bridges, as long as I can make really great wine." That sort of masochistic pursuit of value deserves to be pointed out. And at $20, this is indeed a value. The bouquet intertwines ripe black cherry, richly spiced potpourri, and loam. The nose follows through in a juicy style on the palate, but with a notable measure of balance. I bought a lot of this, so maybe Greg can roast a pig tonight. — 9 years ago
