Owner's Reserve Guest Cottage Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
It's that good. Thank you Ed for blending the "Mandes" M wine with Ted Mandes. @Ted Mandes. Ted's proprietary blend showed amazingly well. Thank you to everyone that purchased Ted's wine in support of his venture!! It's mind blowing good!! I hate to tell you "I told you so" but I told you so!!!
I sold both 3L's and the 6 pack that was in my house. Send me an email if you'd like some shipped to you. They are $200 per bottle.
Kirk Venge
Croix Starling Morelli Roost Chardonnay 2014
Awesome recommendation from our local wine guy. Hadn't heard of if before, apparently it's a newer project from Kirk Venge. It's the Chardonnay but Delectable doesn't seem to have it in their database. Complex nose and palate of flowers, minerals, slate, apricots, mint, brown butter, blah blah blah. Basically, too many to list, but I like how it tastes a little different each time. Really nice acid and viscosity. Sure to age well. — 8 years ago

Bone Ash Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Wow., light years beyond Silencieux. Man is this good! Beautiful Oak., awesome integration of blackberry & dark fruit. Impeccably balanced with a finish that would make Lance Armstrong tired to reach! Highly recommend this bad to the Bone Wine! @Kirk Alexander This is a wine that would literally make my buddy Kirk start drinking again during the week!!! 😜🍷🍷😜 — 8 years ago

Le Désir Sonoma County Cabernet Franc Blend 2007
@Ron R @David A Lentine @Mike Rowe @Kirk Alexander My 1st time tasting this wine and what an impression it made.,Beautifully intergraded, powerful yet soft and supple. Parker scored it 100 and I now know why! My only minute., minute., minute criticism: I wish the finish was a little longer. Other than that., it was pretty freaking good!! — 8 years ago

Memento Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Taking this to dinner tonight. Coombsville fruit. Kirk venge. Reserve bottling. Winery no longer exists. 40 bucks on last bottle (reg 110). Hope it's aged well 😬.
Update: this was probably awesome as a younger wine. With the fruit gone, the alcohol dominates.

Morlet Family Vineyards
Coeur de Vallée Cabernet Sauvignon
@Mike R @David L @Joe Lucca @Ron R @Paul T The WOTN was a beauty so generously given to me by my Bud Paul Treadway! Thanks Paul!!! The tasting notes between the Beau Vigne Estate and Morlet's Coeur de Vallee are eerily similar. The true differentiation between the 2 is Morlet's seem less integration at this time. My buddy Kirk @Kirk Alexander always says "The test of a great wine is when nothing jumps out at you". This particular bottle did just that. Every person this evening commented on the fact that it was such a superbly balanced wine. It was dialed back ever so slightly in all the right spots for it to dance on your palate effortlessly.
Thank you Paul for a stellar bottle!!
It was enjoyed by friends outdoors on this beautiful S FL cool night. What else could one ask for?

Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils
Pimentiers Vieilles Vignes Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir 2010
Great purity, just a bit taut right now. Should resolve nicely. There are some deep, leafy, earthy aromatics. Oak is judged well. This has nice freshness to it. Definitely on the rustic side. Jenna thinks it's "dirty and dusty like licking the floor of a primitive structure." It is very hot to her as well, both nasally and to drink. The wine Polaner calls blood orange on this bottling and Camus' other VV Savigny bottling. He is completely right we both agree. 85 year old vines. A solid value for the cellar. Jenna says the quality of this is like unfiltered Honest Tea to clean and bright Steaz. This is a touch more muddled at the moment with a bit of bitterness but I am confident this will clarify and integrate nicely with time. Old school for purists. Jenna says it's "minty and herbal, fennel or anise." Definitely anise/fennel. Some balsamicky older barrel aromas and also nuttier newer oak aromas, too. Good balance. This really does have some soil aromas to it. A touch hot (alcohol) right but I imagine it will cool down with some time in bottle. — 10 years ago

"Bad Ass in a Glass" is quite accurate here. Poured from a double magnum, this was a big wine that had people smiling and buzzing (in every sense of the word!). Globs of dark fruit, silky smooth, a touch sweet, but so well integrated.
Thank you @Martin G Rivard and @Christine for an epic 48 hours and for opening your home last night for the Super Bowl of wine tastings (and for the four different types of grilled cheese sandwiches that magically appeared toward the end of the night!).
While the wines shared last night literally were the best of the best, so too were the folks I had the pleasure of seeing again and meeting for the first time. Thank you all for making last night so memorable. I look forward to staying in touch and sharing a glass (bottle?) with you all again in the near future.

Your generosity and enthusiasm in sharing wine was greatly appreciated. — 7 years ago
