Chinon Cabernet Franc

What a lovely Cab Franc! Such a pleasant finish. Everything I like in Cab Francs, yet they are so rare and hard to find in this part of the Hemisphere. At first the smell is funky, but the taste and finish are super pleasant! — 9 years ago

Quinta Vale D. Maria ( Quinta Vale Dona Maria )

Vinha Da Francisca Douro Tinto 2013

Another rare Douro Beauty, this is harder to find than most cult wines and unicorns! Beautifully expressive of place, with more red fruits and a little more opulence than the Rio. An exceptional wine and on my list of must finds. — 9 years ago

We also import a couple of wines from Campo de Borja called Legado del Moncayo, both an unoaked cuvee and one from older vines with 7 months in used barrels. You might like their style as well.

Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Definitely a crowd pleasing wine. It's rare that I find a very traditional Champagne that I like. But this all Chardonnay has all the attributes of a very well produced wine. Happy to have discovered it on New Year's eve 2016.

This gives me a reason to go visit the Montagne de Reims finally. Previously all the Champagne wines I loved were from the South East corner of the region (with a few exceptions).

Beautiful bubbles, quite fine and just the right amount. The color shows without appearing fake. Great balance with a tendency toward a nice sweetness. The notes of apple mentioned by others are definitely there. This bottle had been dégorgé in late 2014. And I liked for a Brut more than I thought I would. Everyone else at the table did as well. It went very well with the Vanilla ice cream that topped our dessert.

Caravina Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Holly Orchard
9.0

It is Cabernets like this that remind me that the 2011 vintage should not be automatically dismissed as being too cool or problematic. There are definitely herbal notes, and some noticeable bell pepper, but not "greeness" per se. It had a surprising amount of blue and dark fruit at the backend, finishing with some earthiness, sweet tobacco, and some oak. It had a good amount of acid (considering it is a California Cabernet), which made it very food friendly with the skirt steak and chimichurri sauce. There are great values to be found from the 2011 vintage. This would be one of them! It is rare to find a nicely balanced cab with decent acid at this price point. I would go ahead and drink it now and not hold onto it for too long, as I'm not sure it would evolve much, but is very good right now. — 9 years ago
