What better wine for a lake front BBQ. Here's to blue skies ahead.
Dense red cherry, blueberry and violet nose. Lively, complex texture. flavours of black cherry, cassis, and leather. The finish is yet another turn showing ripe plum meshed with cinnamon and pepper.

Château Lanessan

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

After 14 years aging a pretty good Bordeaux to accompany veal chop in the French style. After adequate breathing and decanting, developed quite nice fruit and pretty smooth and balanced finish. Lovely drinking under mild skies. — 8 years ago

Cliff Lede Vineyards

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Grapefruit is the most poignant of the many citrus flavors, but it's the wafts of vanilla and the surprisingly rich body that makes this Sav Blanc an attention getter. This isn't your usual cat-wee wee sour lemon juice that you can barely feel. This baby has curves and a richness that gets your attention. At $20 a bottle it feels like a steal, this is going to be my summer wine, I'm going to have a wild affair and fall in love all over again, lost in the bliss of these sweet aromas under sun drenched skies and when September rolls in, life will inevitably drift us apart. But until then, I'm smitten. — 9 years ago

9.6

High-pitched and exotic aromas transports you to a crowdy Marrakesh market, where ripe cherries are sold under clear skies. Elegant and seriously structured on the somewhat backward palate, but this baby hold plenty in reserve. Love it! — 10 years ago

Never. Too. Much. Rosé.
With harvest in full-swing (and nearly all fruit in, a record!), Saintsbury's classic vin gris of pinot noir's bright fruit & crisp texture taste just like the brighter skies ahead.

Northstar

Columbia Valley Petit Verdot 2013

Somm David T
9.1

100% Petit Verdot that drinks well young is not easy. Northstar has done a pretty nice job with their 2013. They source the fruit from their Stone Tree vineyard on Wahluke Slope & Shaw vineyard on Red Mtn.. On the nose, ruby fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries & faint strawberries. Smoke, grilled meats, pepper, caramel, mocha, dry herbs and fresh & dry florals. The body and tannins are M-M+. The core of the fruit palate is black currants. Tarry notes, pepper, mocha, caramel, smoke, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, dry soil, dry crushed rocks powder, dry stems, dry herb notes, spice, leather, violets, dry dark florals with nice acidity. The round finish starts fruity then drys but has very good structure, length, tension & balance. Photos of; their estate Merlot vines, cellar stainless tanks and the estate fruit starting to go through veraison. In the Estate photo, you can see the smoke filling the valley skies from the wild fires in British Columbia. — 8 years ago

An earthy, Burgundian style forest floor shines on this one. Reminds one of redwood forests and bright blue skies. Oh, and the wine isn't too bad either. — 9 years ago

Château Margaux

Pavillon Rouge Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Pavillon Rouge is the second label of Château Margaux, and the 2000 is a perfumed, silken blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Freshly tilled, loamy soil, leather, forest floor, seedy berries, and black currents evokes the memory of some distant springtime, under cloudy skies. I’m especially struck by the distribution of tannins, which are fine and lovely. There is a lightness to this wine, and a certain elegance that rolls out gently, without bravado. — 9 years ago
