Winemaker Benoit Touquette has a masterpiece on his hands! Thank you David Stevens and Elizabeth Vianello at 750 Wines for introducing us to this dark magenta beauty. Always an interesting blend of fruit from all over the valley, this one has great dark fruit and dry chocolate tastes. The grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon: 75% from Calistoga, Saint Helena, Pritchard Hill, Yountville
Merlot: 6% from Saint Helena
Syrah: 5% from Calistoga
Zinfandel: 5% from Yountville
Petite Sirah: 5% from Saint Helena
Petit Verdot: 2% from Saint Helena
Malbec: 1% from Saint Helena
Cabernet Franc: 1% from Saint Helena. Insane....right? You bet! — 9 years ago

This is holding up well. Good cab franc qualities of menthol anise and herb garni. Dark yet approachable and classic. — 10 years ago

Starts off closed which is expected. After decanting, it was giving a sweet powdered soil nose intermingling with blueberry and black currants. Looooong finish in this one. Really lovely — 11 years ago

How nice to see some aged wine in a bistro-styled Restaurant! 'La Vache qui tète' in Clermont Ferrand is housed in a former butchery and they serve wonderful Charolais meat. That's it.
And they have nice wines and artisanal beer on their list. Nice!
This wine is a fully mature, true-to-type 'Bourgeois' St. Emilion, plummy, steely, medium bodied. — 9 years ago

Really pretty floral aromatics with some tropical and exotic fruit, flavors of lichee and white flowers, ginger and hazelnut/toffee flan. Silken texture without being heavy. Nice freshness and minerality esp. for a Rhone white — 10 years ago
