Château du Donjon

Grande Tradition Minervois Red Blend 2011

8.9

Delicious example of the incredible value to be found in the south of France. 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and the rest cinsault. Garrigue and blackberry with surprisingly light strawberry notes underneath from the Grenache. For 10 bucks a bottle, just goes to show that if you know where to look there is great value to be had...especially in France — 9 years ago

Domaine Rolet

Tradition Arbois Poulsard-Trousseau Blend 2010

Bright, tart, and tasty from the Jura. Bit of a meaty nose, but very different to taste. Cranberry; somebody here said underripe red fruit - I'd buy that. Great wine for the price. — 10 years ago

2011 fruit. Mineral and delicate as always. Gorgeous cut and intensity. Elegant. Creamy. So elegant. This is showing a lot of fruit. — 11 years ago

Château Fortia

Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

It's got just about as much Brett as I will tolerate, which is not much. But, it's got gobs of fruit and spice. Don't see long term potential but it's quite enjoyable now. — 11 years ago

The Brett blows off pretty readily and actually this is quite a juicy CDP

This was better the second day- the Brett blew off.

Bio Tradition Morgon Gamay 2011

Biovitis. I've hated the 11s so far. Stewy and alcoholic. And I've tried a few of the good producers. Guignier managed to kill it somehow. Great wine. Nice nose with elegant internal aromatics and nice fruit. Bravo — 12 years ago

Domaine de Robert Cuvée Tradition Fleurie Gamay 2015

Young, but tasty. Much more full bodied than 2014. Blackberry with a touch of earth. Tannic with a tart acidity. Almost more cranberry on the finish. Think it needs more time, but good. A Gamay that can last!? — 9 years ago

Domaine Berthet Bondet

Tradition Côtes du Jura Savagnin Chardonnay 2012

On the more stately end of jura whites, very balanced and quaffable with some faint chewy petrol notes at the end which is nice somehow. Bought at Le Caviste in Seattle which is a great spot if you're ever in the area. — 9 years ago

Philippe Fontaine

Tradition Brut Champagne Pinot Noir - Pinot Meunier Blend

Toasted yellow apples, a snap of super-green quince and green per skin, and good leesy breadth, followed by hints of pine nuts. — 10 years ago

Château Saint-Pierre

Cuvée Tradition Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Now that's nice! An exceptional spot on Provençal rose at a decent price. Flowers and a bit of spice on the nose, almost a bit raisiny with good earth on the palate. A touch of black pepper zing to finish off. Refreshing. — 11 years ago

Rudolf Fürst

Tradition Franken Spätburgunder 2006

This is my cup of tea. High, yet not harsh acid. Long finish. Transparency is the key quality here. The wine screams of terroir. — 11 years ago

Guiborat

à Cramant Tradition Champagne Blend

Valentines day sparkler - really nice cremant. Dry mineral backbone with a bit of yeast, stonefruit and jasmine - very floral. Great with triple cream and toast. — 12 years ago

Domaine Jean Royer

Cuvée Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2011

Textbook example of traditional chateauneuf du pape. None of the modern, overripe fruit and excess extraction. — 13 years ago

Domaine Giraud

Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2014

A nice, slightly more restrained style of CDP. Lighter red in the glass, not a ton of fruit jumping from the nose. But a nice pretty silky wine, especially at this age. Versatile pairer. — 9 years ago

Domaine de Mourchon

Tradition Séguret Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhone Blend 2013

JKT
9.0

JL Southern Rhone tasting 11/15/16. Nose very expressive yet with well integrated earthy rustic and red fruit notes. Elegant palate with suppleness and soft tannins and nice long finish of complex fruits and minerals. No oak used. Scottish owner. Good value $17. — 9 years ago

Château Jouclary

Cuvée Tradition Cabardès Merlot Blend 2012

Young, but in a fresh, lively way for a pretty deep red blend. Second wine of the evening, so lost some nuance. Looking forward to starting with this one. Seems versatile; good value. — 9 years ago

Château de la Gardine

Cuvée des Generations Gaston Philippe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Extremely nice but needs some time in the cellar. Super complex with deep fruit, earth, and plenty of acid. — 10 years ago

Mas des Bressades

Cuvée Tradition Costières-de-Nîmes 2011
