Holiday Columbia Valley Red Blend 2016

Too ill at Christmas to drink this; were there good tidings for those who wait? Inky purple. Butter, herb, mint and raspberry notes in nose. Candied raspberry, cherry (and later sweet red plum) flavors with length, white pepper, some eucalyptus and honey, slight seed bitterness and some skin astringency on side of tongue in finish. Black pepper aftertaste. Blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Grenache, 14% Malbec, 13% Petite Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Mourvèdre — 6 years ago

Le Fiacre du Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Sorry for being AWOL. But I bring tidings of great joy. The 2014 is out! (So is Bogle Phantom. More later! I just kiss on the first date!) I love Le Fiacre du Pape. Hands down one of the best values -- and most under the radar -- wines on the market. Brought to me many vintages ago by Señor Haro, a formidable presence in the wine world. The 2014 has great fruit, with a nice meaty backdrop. Lots of bacon fat and mushroom. Awesome. Unlike past years a bit tannic. Needs to breathe! Always one to have on hand. — 7 years ago
