Great northern Rhone typicity. Lots of complexity lurking beneath significant structure right now. Needs time and food. — 9 years ago

Lost Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Bright ruby color with dark brambley fruit, toasted oak and graphite on the nose. Ripe dark fruit, black currant, blackberry, cedar and an undercurrent of black truffles. The finish is long and soft with hints of toffee, vanilla and white pepper. Balanced acidity and great tannin structure. — 9 years ago

The nose was on point with the meatiness you'd expect from Côte Rotie, the palate was a beautiful red fruit. I'd drink this all day if my accountant would let me. 😉

Good white blend with clean tones Gevurtz & Mueller. Pinot Gris smooths it. — 8 years ago

La Doriane Condrieu Viognier

Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 8 years ago
