Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2013

Profoundly earthy, with a great helping of pyrazine. Restrained fruit- blackberry and raspberry, and a garden-full of freshly turned soil, herbs and spices. Great balance of acid and tannin. Rustic and compelling - curious to see where this goes in a few more years. — 6 years ago

On the lighter side for a Syrah, which is great when you want those red wine flavors in the summer. Ligonberry, boysenberry, blackberry, violets, smoke, and touch of earthiness. Lots of sediment. — 9 years ago

Spice Route

Malabar Shiraz Blend 2006

Loved this South African blend (64% Shiraz, 15% Mourvèdre, 9% Petite Sirah, 9% Grenache, 3% Tannat). At 12 years old, this was drinking perfectly. Dark and concentrated in the glass, the nose was full on baking spices. The palate delivered bold dark red fruit, in a silky texture.

Our neighbors have a home in South Africa and are introducing us to some local wines that are delicious but sadly hard to find in the US - if anyone knows where to find this please drop me a line in the comments! This would be a superb every day drinker.

Samantha's Garden Clare Valley Shiraz 2013

Smooth. Silky. Some fruit on the finish. Not much earth. Medium body. Maybe a little hot that in time could blow off, otherwise great bottle to open and be surprised with. Drank 2013. — 8 years ago
