Interesting to sip a Pouilly Fumé Cuvée Silice from one of the most trusted values in the region at such an age. While she's in the repose of her twilight years she's not merely a beauty of a bygone time but instead lively and lovely whose company rewards whoever has a chance afternoon with her. Who would ever credit Sauvignon Blanc even one of this crystalline emerald variety as a wine that might take an age in a cool cellar? 13 years! Even through the crazing crows' feet these eyes shine brightly and despite how cray paper skin drapes over the cheek bones of Sauvignon Blanc, this is still nimble and pulses with lives yet to live -not merely memories to regale its audience of how things once were, what she once was or could have been. Honeycomb, lemon curd, nettles wilting in grassy green olive oil, and then the lime leaves...so familiar and yet always exotic of distant shores and climates so far from this northern land of four resolute seasons. As to ratings: how can any of us quantify sensual pleasures really. This was a joy no matter how you cut it and yet given my surprise at Sauvignon Blanc at 13 years on still having so much to say I cannot speak highly enough. The Blanchets do it again! — 11 years ago

Very different, than the usual. More body, more profound ... No wonder Dominique is a friend, and a mentor of mine! ;-) — 12 years ago

This cab shows so purely old school Sonoma - I love it! The fruit/acid is bright but toning as it opens and the oak and tannins magic appears going silky plum with enough brightness to let it work with bresaola, manchego, cremont, dark no to low salt olives and raw almonds Morehead City, NC's premier wine, cheese, charcuterie, craft beer hang - The Prominise' Land Market! Go there! (amazing price point on this delicious Sonoma cab!) — 11 years ago

These 2012 Oregon Pinots are terrific. No winemaking skill needed with this vintage. You don't have to pay top dollar to enjoy a very fine wine. — 12 years ago

Intriguingly nasty nose and a pleasantly balanced fruit explosion with spot-on acidity and mellowed tannins. A rather perfect pairing with bresaola and low to no salt black olives offered up at Promise' Land Market, in Morehead City, NC! To the Season and the good stuff (so to speak/write). Skål! — 12 years ago

There's something about this appellation that resonates deeply with me, and there's no better producer than Chapoutier. The man's a freakish genius of the vine. — 13 years ago
