Enjoyed with family. The age on it enhanced the wine beautifully. Tannins were very soft and the fruit mature but still very present. Wanted to savour as it was the last of my Shae vineyards wines in my cellar. It did not disappoint. Noted I drank my 2009 in 2020 and it was past its prime, three years later the 2010 was perfect. — 8 months ago

2017 vintage. This vineyard can be a little “touchy.” Penner-Ash can be a “soft touch.” This is a great “collab” with perfect tension between the fruit/softness of the Penner-Ash style and the ZCV punching power. Nearly something for everyone that gravitates towards Oregon Pinot. Phenomenal. — 3 months ago

Opened and decanted about an hour before dinner. No formal notes. The 2007 B. Levet "La Chavaroche" is flat out beautiful right now. The aromatics are off the charts with gorgeous, ripe dark fruits, a bit of the animal, a veritable hillside of lavender, black olives, some deli case, black pepper, some leather and earth. The structure is still firm but everything is well integrated at this point; superbly balanced; great acid. The finish is long and has some ferrous minerals that I simply love. A sublime pairing with a Morgan Ranch Wagyu tenderloin served with corn purée, charred broccolini and juniper ash. The 2007's are absolutely ready to drink now with a short decant (mostly to remove any sediment) however, they will continue to drink well for another 10+ easy from good cellars.
