Past prime but still very pleasant with a rack of lamb. Brownish edge pleasant dark fruit on the nose . Medium body modest fruit . — 6 years ago
Still youthful red ruby color. Mid weight on palate with slightly tart overtones — 6 years ago
This is always a favorite in the sparkling category. Tonight I am getting something more in both taste and smell, though. Along with the usual strawberry, I am getting a fair amount of goat cheese. Sounds unlikely, but it makes me swoon. A tasty appetizer to prime me for a Friday night of actively relaxing. — 8 years ago

Ruby red color with a watery rim. Hint of large game blood, wet earth, and fresh dark cherries on the scent. Ripe dark fruit up front, sweet almost; followed by stern tannings and a dry finish. A young wine, medium body, almost light alcohol but with lots of character yet easy drinking. Unassuming wine, extremely enjoyable. One of those, great all-around, Southern Rhône blends... — 6 years ago

Really solid offering from Beaune. Still a hint tight but nothing a long decant will not solve. Nice acidity and hint of cherry showing through what I believe to be oak. Hubba! — 6 years ago
2005 vintage on De 20, 2017 at Sun River, OR with skillet roasted lemon chicken (Ina Garten). Tasted alongside a 1999 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard to compare and contrast. Elegant and mature C-d-Pape at the peak of its life. Fully developed with a lot of great life left but also no need to wait to drink. This why we love C-d-Pape. Bought at K&L wine auction in 2017. — 8 years ago
