Pretty solid Bordeaux blend! The CabSav and Merlot blend work well together. Has a kind of Cab Franc finish with the traditional Bordeaux elements of earth and a strong, commanding finish. Easy price point but sublime Big French red experience: Viva lá France! — 3 years ago

Ooo-LaLa! Found another 2001! Deep Ruby with sweet black and red fruit aromas with a pleasant gentle oak notes. A 100% Tempranillo, from 100-Year Old vines, aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. The palate puts forth flavors of ripe red cherries, dried fruit, cacao and tobacco. The wine showed plenty of acidity and round tannins, giving the wine good structure. This full-bodied wine had a long finish leaving with some oak and earthy mineral ending. A Pleasure! — 7 years ago

The amazing Terroir of Bordeaux never disappoints - smooth, subtle red fruit hangs on the back with some tobacco, earth and a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Pair with a good red meat meal and enjoy the first class transport to the old world…Viva Lá Bordeaux! — 4 years ago

Partnership w/Jim Clendenen at Au Bon Climat. Barbara Barham & Richard Mendelsohn planted 5 acres of Pinot on Lala Panzi Ranch in the RRV. They had similar visions on Pinot’s & thus led to this partnership. Aged in predominately new Allier & Vosges wood. Aromas of berry fruits with dusty earthy nose. On the palate, berry flavors come forth with hints of tea & spice. Medium+ length, fine tannins, ending with earthy mushroom character, it was good, lost its luster, at its prime now! — 5 years ago

Oooo lala. Lovely, and 2012 was a hot year. Sour cherry and dried plums/dark fruits. Some great leather and tobacco that gives it a depth and linger that help it finish strong. — 7 years ago

It’s always a treat to drink a LaLa. This was simply too young and too much oak present to be great at this time. Hopefully a few more years will bring out the greatness — 8 years ago

Magnum! Found this at a great price at a wine store in Sendai, Japan. Could not pass this up - red meat and blue cheese on the menu to open this old friend up and enjoy. Viva lá France in the heart of Japan! Trustworthy old world big French Bordeaux - open it up, let it breathe and even decant if you can - lovely and what you expect...big bold flavor, earthy and a tobacco like finish. — 7 years ago

The last several years I’ve either opened a Royal City, Charles Smith Skull or Behrens Family Thanksgiving Cab (with the skeleton family on the label) on Halloween night. This is far and away the best showing for the Royal City I’ve ever had. 10 years in bottle seems to be the sweet spot for this wine. Blackberry compote, black olive tapenade, smoke, grainy tannins and a dash of herbaceous goodness. Not at all like Cayuse—there is no fox fur funk—rather it compares favorably to a higher end Northern Rhône but without the classy heft and long finish of a LaLa. Enjoyed it immensely. — 7 years ago

Ooo-LaLa!! Went to a private equity tasting where money is not an issue. Intense aromas of red/blue and dark berries, with a distinctive graphite nose. Shows full fruit flavors of cherries, plums and blackberries with sweet cacao and smoky cedar. Well developed, rich, delicate and soft tannins with balanced alcohol and acidity. The finish was complex, elegant and enjoyable, giving mineral nuances with good length. Perfect! Tasting Sample! — 8 years ago
