Close to pop and pour. Not juicy, but lots of red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry (the pits). Also plum. Some leather. Minerals and clay. A little violet. Dried rose petals. Still has some grip — plum-skin-like. Acidity balances it all very nicely. Really good. 92. — 3 months ago

20 yrs old, celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary. Was perfect. So perfumed, nose was the best part - brickish color, tannins resolved, but, enough bite to stay interesting — 2 months ago

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Tradition showcases lovely aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, grapefruit, lemon, orange peel, melon, vanilla and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, vibrant and framed by supple acidity, it can be drunk now but will also develop tertiary notes over the next couple of years.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of cherries, raspberries, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and wild flowers.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a hint of New World style. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward, powerful and engaging.

Nicely balanced and spicy, with a great mouthfeel.

This 6 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. The high alcohol is well integrated by now. A great sipping wine.

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre from 100 year old vines. Aged in new French oak barrels. A small production of only 3,500 bottles.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Very powerful aromatics. Needs a few more years to come around. — a year ago

Very nice Sauternes with delightful balance of fruit, flowers, sweetness and unctuousness, plus sufficient acids to bring it all together. Quite a delicious sipper. This was the very last bottle of Sauternes I could find at my local BevMo in Santa Monica, and it was just a half bottle at that. I should really go back to the Wine House or Wally’s for my wine purchases but this tells me how under appreciated Sauternes is in the U.S. A pity.
I enjoyed the 2019 vintage with homemade chicken liver pâté on toasted brioche. — 4 years ago
