Cuvée Simone Napa Valley Red Blend 2009

It's interesting. This is the second meritage blend I've had in the last little while. This was a blend of 79% cab sav, 12% cab franc, 6% petit Verdot and 4% merlot. I very much enjoyed the CF in here. Wonderful nose. Very perfumed. A lush mouthfeel with silky tannins. An extremely pleasant finish. I knew nothing of Ruston before this but I will have to seek them out in the future.

I must say that I thought I was all about "pure" wines. These last couple of wines have me thinking a lot more about Bordeaux. I don't even know where to start!

Nursed this bottle for almost six years after bringing it back from Piemonte. Probably one of my favorite amaro with less bitter and more rs. — 9 years ago

Very cool.

Jaquere on its skins, from the Alps hence camp skiers. But aren't all skiers camp? Looming large over the bottle of grappa on the table we were to make swift work of. — 9 years ago
