Eagles Trace
Estate Grown Valhalla Vineyard Napa Valley Pinot Noir 2012
Translucent burgundy color with just a tiny bit of haze on the rim and slow flowing legs. Nose of nice cranberry, herbs, a touch of soy sauce, a bit of salty mineral, baking spice, and dressed with powerful alcohol. Taste of bright and sharp acidity, with sweetness comes at the second wave, peppery and a bit zesty like grapefruit zest, cherries and cranberries, and baking spice. Aftertaste is zesty and sweet, medium finish with peppery note lingering on the base of tongue. A nice flavorful and refreshing Pinot. — 10 years ago

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2011
Always the perfect bistro wine. This one is pleasantly tannic, with plenty of fruit to offset the trace amount o brett. A rare example of a time I don't mind brett. — 12 years ago
Bevan Cellars
Ontogeny Oakville Red Wine 2010
2nd wine from Bevan. In honor of parker release of Napa '10. Dark red core with deep ruby edges. Nose is graphite, black currants, loamy earth and good spice, barely a trace of oak. The palate is full bodied with medium to mostly full bodied, but ripe tannins. Light on its feet but fully concentrated this is a beaute! #bevancellars #awesomecabernet #napa2010 — 12 years ago

If there were ever an archetypical Syrah, Jamet's Cote-Rotie would be a strong candidate. To me this is a pure expression of a classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It is not a single site, but a blend of terroirs, encompassing over 20 sites mostly from hard rock schist bedrock with little to no topsoil. There is NO Viognier in this wine like one might expect from most Cote-Rotie that might have 1-5% co-fermented.
Importantly, there is also a lot less of the oak character that can dominate and overwhelm many Northern Rhone wines. The oak maturation, while not short at 22 months, only uses 15% new oak with no trace of it on the palate as it is perfectly integrated. Grape bunches are whole cluster fermented and macerated for up to 3 weeks.
The 2007 we have here was drinking superbly for a young wine, showing lively and racy layers of peppercorn spice, roast beef, and warm blackberry and currant fruit from the hot 2007 vintage. While from a warm vintage, not a hair is out of place. Density and purity exude from the nose and hint at what a brilliant future this wine has. Perfect acidity and fleshy ripe tannin provide the backbone structure for father time to peel back the layers of this beauty. I will be chceking back in 5 years at the earliest. — 9 years ago
