Pretty funky upon opening. Horsey like a Raffault. But there is a sense of big cherry fruit lurking. Very floral as well. Some combo there of fresh flowers and horseshit. After 30-45 minutes the shit is gone and it’s all violets, earth and cherries. Awesome. Morel is magic. Palate is deep, raw like only Morel can be, with terrific freshness and acidity and a lovely rusticity. St Aubin Rouge are not the most elegant Burgundies but they have so much more than elegance. This wine is long. Really long. It’s a crazy wine that I think with 3-4 more years will really show well. This is like a young version of the 08. — 8 years ago

Signargues Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend

Cran-plum nose, with very well integrated boysenberry, hints of Pom, pepper, lime, tannin.
Wow! This wine is indeed perfect for a Monday night game of darts. Bullseye on the price point and producer for quality.

Lieu-Dit Pignan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

A powerhouse! This is classic with its black fruit, herbs de Provence, and anise seed flavors. Barnyard funk emerges with air along with a streak of minerality. Let this sleep for another 3-5 years for better integration. — 9 years ago

Gigondas Grenache Blend 2011

Fantastic Rhone Valley wine. Notes of dark jammy plum, cedar and clove spice on the nose, with strawberry-rubarb, raspberry sorbet, pomegranate, and light minerally feel, medium plus body, high acidity, and a nice and smooth finish. Great with food, and with an hour decant, by itself. — 9 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1985

Carob, toffee, mineral mid-pallet, red fruits, old world funk, and almost cabernet franc character. Served with roasted Cornish hen, morel mushrooms in cream, and grilled green garlic hearts. #americanclassic — 10 years ago

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

Grower champagne from Verzenay; also the chair of the Cave Co-op in Verzenay for some years, and JP's father before him (who has disgorged me wines still on lees back to 1928); is Verzenay Grand Cru though not stated; JP is a specialist pinot noir grower, with a slice of chardonnay; wine is boldly pinot power, nice tang on finish, fresh and delicious; taut, full, tons of yeast; great Christmas breakfast Champagne + fruit. — 11 years ago

Noisy neighbors party didn't get us down- we bounced to the Sofitel for a suite party of our own. This biodynamic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc was perfect with room service... Lots of morel savor & classic 2004 acid and mineral drive! — 10 years ago

Los Frionnes Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Vibrant red cherries from first whiff. Fruit is very much alive while there is a cool earthiness and perhaps even iron. On the palate, dark cherries. Light medium body with some fleshiness. Medium acidity and finish. — 8 years ago
