La Cuvée du Chêne Texas High Plains Petit Verdot 2015
Floral bouquet and very young raspberry and black cherry immediately hit you after pouring this one into the glass. Immediately you know that you have committed infanticide. As you are contemplating what to do, you are Sinister hand pours a glass of this for you to get a nice with this one on a more personal level. Boysenberry, black fruit, a little bit gamey. Yet, a little bit youthful and floral. What the hell is going on here!? The Sinister hand forces this one to your mouth, to enjoy an immense pallet of black cherry, wild berry pie. The middle of this one dries to a dehydrated red fruit character. Finishes long, with the perfect pairing being leftover Halloween candy from your 4 year old who already forgot she went trick-or-treating this year. So good on so many levels, and this one is still insanely tannic. I give it another 10 or 15 years easily. I would say this is the most immense wine in the Calais lineup other than the Gravitas. Still drank insanely well. — 7 years ago

Domaine Lombard
Le Brézème Grand Chêne Côtes du Rhône Septentrionales Syrah 2015
We want the funk! A fantastic example of how a judicious touch of brett is the best seasoning for Syrah...and how too much of it makes Syrah smell like donkey ass. Really a perfect wine, for what it is. — 6 years ago

Domaine du Chêne
Saint-Joseph Syrah 2004
Must be open for at least an hour. Freeze dried strawberries, sweet car exhaust (not kidding here), and pine. Alcohol also shows. Simple yet brooding palette of fresh dark fruit. Super fine tannins grip and hold you through the long finish. I think this wine is just past peak but it was a good value. — 8 years ago
