Memento Mori

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Wow!! Enjoying a magnificent bottle with winemaker Sam Kaplan, founder Adam Craun, and the lovely host Genevieve Bechtold at Cook for lunch a little while back. A composite blend from Napa vineyards B Weitz, Las Piedras, and the notable Dr. Crane. Very full-bodied texture, velvet across your tongue and that signature long long finish. Balanced deep fruits and soft tannins. Hard not to drink it right now! Don't know how it will improve over time...doubt I will at this rate! — 9 years ago

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2008

so, this was rated on a curve. stored in a fridge in another city. fridge died in summer and it was weeks before i found it. it was baked. and then it was weirdly ok. just used it to explain to @captain henrik how get wine out of a bottle with a coravin (merry xmas, cap'n!) expecting it to be destroyed. lo and behold. second wine from that lot which wasn't ruined. the OTHER, miraculously, was the bernaudeau "sans souffre" which I'll never understand why it was ok. maybe there are wine elves sticking ice in the dead fridge until I found it.... god jul!! — 9 years ago

Marquês de Borba Alentejo Red Blend 2009

Unfortunately the last bottle from my cellar! Equally unfortunate is the fact of 2009 vintage being the last great Marques de Borba produced by JP Ramos(he is now too supermarketized im afraid). 2009 was an amazing Trincadeira harvest in Alentejo and one can truly see it in this baco. Definitely red meat with pepper which is what I'm just about to cook! — 10 years ago

Poupille

Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Tried a new Castillon today. Poupille is a fantastic value at $30, and has a bit of new world flair in its fruit forwardness. It Is crafted from fruit grown on 35 year old vines - 100% Merlot. Smokey blackberries, red plum, lavender, and dried herb I'm the nose. Following, is a fruit packed, concentrated pallet exhibiting notes of black plum, green bell pepper, dark cherry, peppercorn, and a lush, lingering finish. This is a a hearty wine to be served with hearty dishes. Tonight's menu included two favorite things of mine to cook: French Onion soup, and Ratatouille Confit Byaldi for the main course. I don't think I could have picked a better wine to go with these dishes. YUMMM. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Forcada

Flor de Baco Rioja 2009

This would work well with organic rack of lamb roasted with potatoes, leeks, scallions and garlic. Drizzle olive oil over cook at 350 for 15 minutes, cover with foil and resume cooking at 300 for 30 minutes. Check package for recommended core temp. — 13 years ago
