La Victoire Brut Champagne Blend

Bready, high acid, and cheaper than house Champagne on my shelves. My personal favorite I carry and prime example of French Champagne from an American negociant. — 9 years ago

La Serenne Yakima Valley Syrah 2008

2008 Betz La Serenne Syrah

Deep dark purple color that is quite opaque.
Nose is reasonably complex and filled with blackberries and a hint of sweet dark cherry, layered with smoke, cured meat, leather, a trace of tar, anise, licorice, vanilla, and oak.
Flavors of dense black berry, fairly strong pepper, stone, and otherwise follows the nose. Upon opening the palate is not as open and complex as the nose, but given some air it opens nicely and rather quickly. It ends with mild-plus mouth coating tannins and moderate length. Always a lovely wine.

Viña Real (CVNE)

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1968

B
10

1968 Vina Real Gran Riserva Temperanillo. One of 3 wines we opened up for the lunch which Ash prepared at the house. Hard to believe that this wine is almost 50 years old. It drank beautifully- still a little bit of sour red fruit in the nose, but more predominantly forest floor, graphite, and meat. Not super rich in mouthfeel, possibly due to age? Great and fun to drink on a hot day. — 9 years ago

La Storia Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

2011 La Storia Trentadue Sonoma Cab. Another "I never would have found this if not for my personal shopper Kelli at McCarthy and Schiering in Seattle" winner. Big Time Somoma cab with all that you want in a Cali cab; big fruit, extremely smooth finish with not too much oak and tannin but very deep color and just a mouthful of WOW. Thanks Kelli! — 11 years ago

Tough to see label though! Think the '11 is bigger and better than the '10 that others have had.
