500 Chevaux is an automobile racing term; French for “500 horsepower.” Nellcôte founder and vintner Tyler Olbres is an avid car-racing fan, and has himself driven in the Monaco Rallye for Classic Cars. This wine is a high-horsepower Cabernet, meant to be sleek, powerful, and fully able to go the distance.
LAST BOTTLE Notes,

Blend of 86% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Malbec, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit, generous spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with pepper and cinnamon wrapped in floral notes. Fine developed tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and toasty spices. Should age well. — 4 months ago
Dark, blackish purple with red black core. Inviting nose of blackberry cobbler and ash. Palate confirms the nose adding smoky blueberry. Firm, crushed velvet tannins assert immediately and through the medium length finish. Medium New World level acidity (of course). Petite Sirah is clearly in a leading role in this bold California red from the folks at Titus (get it? Titus Andronicus?). Excellent choice for steaks and cookout fare. Drink now through 2026. — 7 months ago

First Titus Pinot for me and very pleasant surprise. Being used to 'bigger' wines by this vintner, very sound expression of Russian River — 3 months ago
