The Road Les Traveled III St. Helena Red Blend

NV wine from Behrens Family Winery. Love this producer for making some seriously deep and complex wines that have just about anything to complement anything! This wine is massive, and ready to go! Fruit forward but not a jam bomb. Nice chalky and still youthful and expressive blackberry fruit. This one shows complexity from the middle to the finish where a toasted oak and chocolate mocha note kind of kick in. Really good with dinner but huge with dessert. If this isn't my one and only Erna Schein left, it's close! Very nice wine!! — 8 years ago

@Shay Aldriedge, their creativity is ridiculous, and their wines are really quite unique. They will have some labels that carry from year to year (Spare Me, Blender Boy, The Heavyweight), but they have a lot of new creation wines from year to year that are all really beautifully done. (Lisa Drinkward is the femme in the Les and Lisa couple, so you know quality is amazing). I haven't ever had a bad wine from them. I had a few people tell me that one label was good and the other was bad, etc, and for several years I would only order The Heavyweight or Spare Me (they're the two that have been around every year since I've been ordering).

@Shay Aldriedge - you can't go wrong with any of their wines - their almost all amazing - but I think you would especially like their Labor of Love - Pritchard Hill sourced Cab Franc dominated blend.

They actually have 2 whites: a Chasselas and Marsanne+Roussane, and I have not tried either.

Green & Red Vineyards

Chiles Canyon Vineyards Zinfandel 2012

A blend of three vineyards in Saint Helena has produced a nice peppery Zinfandel with a 14.9% alcohol content. This reasonably priced wine pairs well with a hamburger or a BBQ chicken. This 2012 follows in the footsteps of previously released sins that Green and Red has produced. — 10 years ago

Delish! Got at A voce. $280 there but retails for $80. Smooth, bold, slightly tannic, not too sweet. Needs to open slightly and temperature is key. — 11 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2003

Nose is more on the fruit than the spice. Nice aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum fruit. Hints of graphite, road tar and soy. Ripe lush fruit tannins in palate. Lacks a touch of brightness on mid palate due to vintage. Ready to drink and fantastic with braised lamb shoulder. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Winemaker Benoit Touquette has a masterpiece on his hands! Thank you David Stevens and Elizabeth Vianello at 750 Wines for introducing us to this dark magenta beauty. Always an interesting blend of fruit from all over the valley, this one has great dark fruit and dry chocolate tastes. The grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon: 75% from Calistoga, Saint Helena, Pritchard Hill, Yountville
Merlot: 6% from Saint Helena
Syrah: 5% from Calistoga
Zinfandel: 5% from Yountville
Petite Sirah: 5% from Saint Helena
Petit Verdot: 2% from Saint Helena
Malbec: 1% from Saint Helena
Cabernet Franc: 1% from Saint Helena. Insane....right? You bet!

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

1986 Leoville-Las-Cases

Still mouth watering tannic acid that's deep and brooding that combines with ripe dark cherry richness to create a boysenberry tang. Nose is at once dusty gravel road as it is cooking sweet cherry pie. Perfect balance front to back. Amazing, mature fruit for sure, but still could last a decade!

Sympa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

This is the Block I cab from St Helena winery. Pretty impressed with how this has held up - still a lot of fruit on the nose, while at the same time acquiring some nice secondary components on both the nose and the palate. My guess is that this one is probably at peak - wouldn't recommend holding onto it for too much longer. — 8 years ago

Sympa Block 1 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

The name Sympa perfectly describes what we feel after tasting it. It's an astonishing Cabernet Sauvignon coming from the US (Napa Valley), vintage 2005. A full body red wine with dark fruits aromas that we had to decant 6h before drinking it. Definitely worth the time! A limited edition made in French oak. It is by far one of the greatest wine I've ever drink! — 11 years ago
