Agreed with previous CT reviewers, this wine has lost most of its tannin. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This allows a lot of notes to show on the finish. This wine had a nose of black cherry cordial and tart. The note was more of a black cherry and oatmeal tart on the front. Delicate, yet hedonistic at rhe same time. Herbal finish. Still with a delicate fruit structure. Neat wine. The finish really did beg you to take another sip, which IMO is mission accomplished. Compared to a Favia and a 1999 Heitz Martha's, this red had stiff competition but fared well. Probably was better 1 or 2 hours after I left, so @Shay Aldriedge 's note is probably going to be a truer representation of how it showed when it was fully open. — 7 years ago

10' Bevan Cellars EE Red Cuvée. I personally enjoy a well-made Cabernet with a "chunk" of Cabernet Franc in it. The older I'm getting the more I'm enjoying CF profile/flavors.

Give this at a minimum an hour decanting.

Color- Purple with dark ruby red edges.

Full bodied. Blue & black fruits pop out, cider, espresso, pipe smoke also. This is why I purchase wine. Nothing truly stands out on this blend. Drink/Hold.

Bevan and Favia are two of my favorites, when it comes to CF blends . at- The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea, Maui — 7 years ago

08' Palmaz Cabernet. I'll just jump right into it. I keep taking sips of this wine... thinking I've tasted this before? Two things come to mind. Rubicon & Favia cab combo.🤔Elegant, soft & silky. Chocolate, black fruits, dried red fruits. Not quite as complexed as those wines. That might have something to do with the vintage? Nevertheless, very appealing. Drinking now. What's not to like. If visiting Napa a great tour. — 8 years ago

Stunning aromas and flavors in this youthful, yet already complex SB-version. Combines richness and elegance, finishing long and rewarding. Impressive! — 11 years ago

2014 Guigal Condrieu La Doriane
Wow. This wine is amazing. I love Viognier and drink a fair amount of domestic Viognier from solid producers like Alban, Roar, Reynvaan, Jeff Cohn, Favia and Herman Story. I love those wines but this is a different animal. This wine redefines the category. Impeccable balance, unbelievable minerality and a finish that lasts 45 seconds. This is a white wine that evolves in the glass in front of you and it is a 2014. I had this alone and then with food, Nicoise salad and it was great with ample acidity. This is a Viognier that is made like a Grand Cru white burgundy. My eyes have been opened to what is possible with this grape. BRAVO — 7 years ago

Ambitious stuff, produced by Andy Erickson of Favia fame, in collaboration with the owners at Sweden's leading steakhouse; AG. Dense and rich, displaying savoury additions to its abundant dark fruit flavors, offering toasty oak and a powerful finish. Well done. — 8 years ago
