Nose: tobacco, black cherry, plum, “scented marker” or “circus peanut” aroma. Taste: cooked fruit, raisin, maybe cotton candy?, after open for a while had chocolate, complex, perfectly balanced with cleansing tannins — 6 years ago

My in-laws frequent Cabo often and claim that they’ve found some impressive wines from Mexico/Baja region. They enjoy fine wine, so I trusted their opinion and went hunting. This winery is supposedly one of the top wineries in Mexico, and I was able to find the last 3 bottles (at the time) in the US as the winery was sold out. We had dinner with them at my wife and I’s favorite spot in Fort Worth and I surprised them with this wine.

Pours dark and inky. Aromatically, this was a circus bash of red, blue and black fruit. There was also some black peppercorn and cedar. The front and mid-palate were dense...oak wasn’t dominant, just an absolute rush of fresh squeezed fruit. Finish was spice driven. Blind, I would have likely called this a zin/petite sirah blend (but structure kept this from being an overblown, hot, flabby Napa style zin). Very unique and enjoyable. Bravo Mexico/Baja! — 7 years ago

Bottle that looks like Aunt Jemima. Velvety, beautiful finish. Tastes better than Schwetty balls that choke me like sword-swallowing circus performers. Happiness follows with every swallow. — 7 years ago

2012 CIRQ Estate Treehouse Pinot Noir. Michael Browne’s (of Kosta Browne) personal project which as I understand is an homage to the Summers he spent at a ‘Circus Camp’ in his youth. Treehouse is an amazing hilltop (stunning elevation) property in west Sonoma County with red, iron-rich soil surrounded by (say what?) coastal cypress trees. I had the pleasure of visiting, hosted by Damon Wong, and it's an amazing Vineyard. Unlike anything else I've ever seen. I can understand Michael's fascination with it. The wine: On the nose, red fruits, cedarbox, with notes of rhubarb and fennel. On the palate, pomegranate, kirsch, black tea, spices, roasted herbs along with hints of black truffles and white pepper. Beautiful texture. Lengthy finish. Classic expression of Pinot Noir. If I had to distinguish it from Kosta Browne from a flavor-perspective, I would say higher acidity and a bit of tannin give it a quality more accustom to Grand Cru Burgundy which is not bad company. I'm a fan. Congrats to Michael as well as his partner in this project, my friend Kenny Rochford, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. — 8 years ago

Red and black fruits, mineral, fine tannin, med acidity. There’s some nice material here but this felt a bit closed. Will hold my remaining bottle for several years to see where it goes. — 6 years ago

This is tasty and true to a malbec. Bitter sweet with a hint of cherry and sourness.

This is definitely a wine paired well with red meat. It has the flavor comopentents to enhance a juicy steak or ribs. Slightly on the sour side of malbecs. This wine is tasty even by itself. — 7 years ago

Vendredi saint diner chez Sophie.
Les enfants sont à la garderie. La promotion de Lo et l'achat de la nouvelle maison à célébrer. On commande Le Bourg 2010... malheureusement il ne reste que Poyeux 2011 ... pas grave ! Premier verre plutôt timide. Après 30 minutes, commence à se livrer. Très floral et sur les framboises. Texture caressant le palais. Longueur moyenne +. Encore 5 à 7 ans en bouteille lui fera grand bien — 9 years ago

Il ne reste que quelques hectares de ce merveilleux cépage (Tempranillo peludo) sur la surface de cette planète...
Bonne dégustation! — 9 years ago
