Fayard Wines

Azur

Reserve Red Blend 2012

Julien Fayard is a pro. Soft, elegant with lingering flavors holding up to steak and eggplant. A wonderful expression of a 15.1% alcohol wine that is soooo balanced — 7 years ago

The Delivery Nicholson Jones Cuvée Red Blend 2010

Cool find! This is a fantastic Julien Fayard made wine from Nicholson Jones. The wine has lots of leather both on the nose and palate. The nose gives a nice herb bouquet, but the palate has strong sage and eucalyptus. It ends with a crazy burnt sugar note on the finish. All the while, the fruit shows extremely well. Wow, this is a very complex, well structured wine. — 8 years ago

Fayard Côtes du Ventoux Red Rhone Blend 2011

Dad surprised us with a bottle if this wine at 80 Thoreau for our 7th anniversary! It is light in body but complex and full in flavor. Bright berry notes, with mild earthiness — 11 years ago

Azur

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

2012 Cabernet. Julien Fayard strikes again. Soft, round, elegant-sipping each taste slowly to conjure up the flavors in the back palate. — 7 years ago

Vin Ver'ray

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2012

A good representative Cab Franc with lots of fruit, oak, spice. Built to age but was really approachable young. Happened upon this bottle by accident but from Nicholas Jones wine group and winemaker Julian Fayard. Would buy again especially at price point $25. 180 cases made — 8 years ago

Matthew Wallace Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Such a great wine. If you like big, fruit-forward, silky wines that punch well above their price point this is one for you. Lots of berries and vanilla on the nose, lush black and red fruit, hint of minerality, sweet tannins with a long finish. Made by Julien Fayard (winemaker at Purlieu - another great wine), this **easily** holds its own with wines costing 2x as much. — 8 years ago

@Carl Fischer : Never had this wine, but JFayard is in town tomorrow doing a tasting at the storage facility where I keep my wine and he’s pouring this, Azur, Covert and Taplin. I’ve only had Covert, and this review of yours makes me excited to try this!

Drinking with winemaker Julien Fayard. Great wine with excellent balance. Good acidity and fruit. Well done — 9 years ago

Taplin Cellars

Terra 9 Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This wine is new to me thanks to the folks at 750. Made by Julien Fayard, the nose is full of cherries, lead and a touch of menthol. The palate is rich with concentrated flavors of cherries dominating. The tannins are strong but balanced by nice acidity. Would have guessed in the 125/150 a bottle range (it's around 65). — 7 years ago
