Drank 5/17/19. Paired with bacon cheeseburgers.

Nose of sweet plums, blackberry, and a touch of earth. Palate of blackberry liquer, over ripe plums, and a touch of leather. Perhaps it's the food pairing, but this came across as a bit ripe tonight. More of a napa palate, despite the more old world nose.

Big inky and brooding. New world save for the sanguine quality, chewy dark berry and mineral. Nowhere near its peak! — 9 years ago

Robust Grenache blend. Deep, dark and inky wine. Notes of stewed prunes, black cherries with notes of damp wood. Well balanced fruit, relaxed tannins, nice spice, medium complexity with a nice finish. Firm acidity; will pair well with roasted meats and a variety of cheeses. — 10 years ago

Smells of candied apricot, dried fig, and Smokey edges.

Medium bodied, yet towards the heavier side, deep Smokey fruits, tabac, black cherry rolling around in the hay with some garrique and acidity. Dark tones linger on like a good old fashioned Edgar Allen Poe story.. — 6 years ago

The 2015 L’Amourette is a pretty showing, this 100% #GrenacheGris comes from vines planted in the hilly black schist soils of eastern #Maury, in the #Roussillon. It delivers is fresh and clean with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, acacia flowers and chalky minerals. Shows nice balance and focus with a crisp edge to the finish. A fantastic effort and drinking excellent right now. (Best 2016-2018) — 10 years ago

Tonight's wine is another Right Bank gem. This is the second wine from Chateau Valandraud the 2009 Virginie de Valandraud. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc from Jean-Luc Thunevin.

The nose brings wonderful notes of black plum, black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, cedar, licorice, spice, smoke and black earth.

On the palate there a notes of bbn lack cherry, black plum, blackberry, green bell pepper, kitsch, coffee, a pleasant oak, violet and earth.

The wine is full bodied that has a smooth velvety mouth feel with medium+ acidity and medium+ sandy tannin that leads right to a long dark fruit finish. The weekend has wonderful wines in store so stay safe and enjoy yourselves. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 6 years ago

We wanted Tawny Port; our sommelier Tim suggested this. Very “Tawny-Like”; paired well with either pumpkin cheesecake or pecan tart. — 7 years ago
