Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

Always the sweet taste of the iron-rich clay in the wines of Petrus which separates them from anyone else. It's that unique mouth feel as graceful and rich as finest Vicuña and sings siren songs on the tongue. — 9 years ago

Elk Cove Vineyards

Clay Court Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Vogt's choice tonight.....one of the biggest Pinots I've ever had....perfect style for a Cab lover. Deep purple color, cherry, raspberry jam, chalky tannins, dense, with a long finish. A touch of acidity that should mellow with age. — 10 years ago

Terroir al Límit

Les Manyes Priorat Garnatxa Negra

Cool site Garnacha grown on clay limestone (unusual for Priorat). Meaty, flesh, leathery, earthy, spices, dried roses, citrus peel. Deeply layered and would be a blast with age. — 9 years ago

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 1989

'Les Picasses' lies along a riverbank on a fairly steep slope that is primarily alluvial clay overlaying chalk and limestone. The vines are over 50 years old and the site is known to produce wines with fabulous purity and minerality. As such the Olga Raffault 'Les Picasses' Chinon 1989 has had time to mellow, the aromas are quite lovely—lavender, game, worn leather, a touch of barnyard, and cellar dust. There is a throaty, sensual wildness to this wine, punctuated by a vein of bright acidity and minerals. Everything I love in Loire Valley Cab Franc. — 10 years ago
