Jour de Soif Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2017

Someone said natural. Think this is organic farming but I don’t think this is natural wine. Pierre Gauthier, almost 40 acres of Clay/Limestone Tufa in Benais outside of Bourgeuil. Probably just over $25-$30retail, $45-$60 on a wine list. Smoking good. The composite rating here is insanely low for the QPR. Everyone should be drinking these wines. This is a great wine in the grand scheme of things, it’s all about perspective. Entry level wine, the Jour de Soif has no oak, bright fruit, amazing green edge. There is a wet tobacco thing. Classic wine! Love it. — 5 years ago

2014 Vintage. Wow! So much depth and very refined. Notes of black plum and white flowers. Vanilla, plush cherry and hints of black licorice. Like a velvet smoking jacket- dead sexy. — 5 years ago

This wine is aging beautifully! The 2005 was smoking and this vintage needed some bottle age. What a fantastic effort! — 7 years ago

Morlet Family Vineyards

Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

One of the sexiest wines I’ve had in a while, and that’s saying something. Velvet smoking jacket cool. The nose is campfire, pen ink, toasty oak, briary berries, cherry cordial, freshly turned soil. The palate is a cacophony of flavors; rich and reduced red berries, blueberry pie, leather, warm spices, cedar, red and black currants, beef jerky, menthol, earthy minerals, charcoal smoke, river stones, fresh tobacco leaf, black plum skin. Says goodbye with a very firm handshake. Finish lasts for a solid 2 minutes. Took about a 4 hour decant to really strut its stuff. A relative baby; she’ll continue to evolve for another decade or two. Not quite ready for marriage; but right now is a great time to go for a spin with this fun, racy young woman. Thank you @David L for gifting this beauty. Wishing you and Kristen a very Happy Holiday Season. — 5 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Opened this on Monday night. Beautiful dark inky color. Wonderful nose. Very tightly wound. I would have expected a softer palette based in the age. Tuesday night it started coming around. Wednesday night it had blossomed and was smoking good. Silky smooth, long layered finish. — 7 years ago
