A blend of 58% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir, pale yellow with crisp aromas of stone fruits with a touch of floral scents. On the palate pear and apple flavors, some citrus nuances with fine bubbles and light mousse. The finish has a creamy texture, well structured, ending with toasty notes and yeasty tang that lingers. This 2011 has good aging potential. I still have some 2007 in my cellar that is tasting great now. — 10 years ago
We wanted a nice wine to go with the lobster and steak, so my usual favorites were out! We chose a Petit Sirah, apparently $29 on the outside so I have no problem with the $58 restaurant price. Smooth, nice finish, full flavor but in no way overpowering which makes it okay for the seafood. I selected well! — 10 years ago

Cuvée de la Pompadour is 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, named for Madame de la Pompadour, Louis XV's great paramour, and she introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles, famous for having said, "Champagne is the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful." Salmon color with aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate fresh strawberry and raspberry flavors with cinnamon spice and toasty oak.

1958 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino: from Jay. This was the Ying to the Mascarello's Yang. Lovely rich ruby colour with virtually no bricking on the edge. The nose developed over the course of 15 to 20 mins in the glass. Unlike the Mascarello that was shedding perfume from the moment it hit the glass, the Monfortino needed more air before becoming less brooding. Dark fruits on the nose. Purple plums, black cherries, some forest floor, light tobacco as well as some floral elements prevailed. The palette was a reflection of the nose so no surprises. The fruit was far from dried out and this particular bottle still had plenty of life left in it but from my recent experience this is the exception rather than the rule. I have had around 10 bottles of old Monfortino ('55 / '58 / and '61) over the last year and the bottle variation, as you would expect, is tremendous with the majority of them past their prime. The finish was strong and in keeping with the rest of the package with reasonable length and quality. Drink now. 95/100.

New Years Eve 2015 Pinot Recommendation by Naomi @ 58 Degrees. Very nice. European taste profile with structure. — 10 years ago
From taste: lovely piercing orange liqueur and wildflower aroma, cardamom and cinnamon, intoxicating, clear and beautiful nose. Chalky minerality on palate, fine grained, grippy tannins, great harmony and spicy orange deliciousness. Shows well the softer side of this exuberant vineyard, and of barolo, and exudes excellent balance with a combination of sweet cherry fruit, sophisticated tannin, and zesty acids. Could use more mid-palate punch, but nevertheless a buy and a keeper for 8-12 years. $58. — 11 years ago

Recommend you let this one chill to 58 or 60 then let breathe. It's a completely different wine at 60 deg then rt. Menthol bite with a splash of blackberry chocolate. 😊 — 10 years ago
