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,
Nellcote was an uber-pricey luxury Cab that recently closed its doors, and, after extensive tasting through all the brilliant, incredibly fine-tuned Cabernets early last year, that none other than Phillip Titus (yep, THAT Phillip Titus, the legend behind CHAPPELLET and others!) made,

An affordable jewel created by Titus Vineyards in Napa Valley, to showcase a Bordeaux-inspired red blend of 41% Cab Sauv, 22% Malbec, 12% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc, 9% Petite Sirah and 6% Petit Verdot, that work harmoniously and can entice both; connoisseurs and vino aficionados.
The V’22 Andronicus is well-structured and has a warm-felt welcoming encompassing a sort of Bordeaux-blended and the vivacity of the Napa County top medley. Attractive and distinctive color with a delightful aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry, punchy espresso and black teas. On the palate feels sophisticated, luscious, velvety and potent, yet mouthfeel is coating enough to swirl around multiple times before appreciating its concentrated finish. Some herbaceous and other Pyrazine nuances are noble and sensed at the very end as well. Cheers! — 8 months ago

Blend of Cab Sauv (Dominant), Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot & Malbec, crested by 30 year Chappellet veteran winemaker Phillip Titus. Tasted this at an event, wine displaying youthful aromas of black fruit, spices and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with some vanilla and cacao adding in some herbal floral notes. Vivid acidity & firm tight tannins with lingering finish ending with a youthful character should bode well for some bottle aging. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

Sonoma-Loeb, a distinguished winery renowned for producing exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines sourced from Sonoma County's most esteemed vineyards. Phillip Titus is a celebrated Napa Valley winemaker for this Chard, who also serves as winemaker for both Chappellet Vineyards and his family's Titus Vineyards since 1990 in Napa Valley.
As aromatic as it can get, the tropical fruits, nectarine, honeysuckle, and crisp melon notes on the nose are very welcoming and persistent. The palate gets coated with lemon custard, a balanced acidity and a creaminess that bond together the rest of nuances from the primary flavors of tropical fruits, and lemon zest.
A mouthfeel snap, absolutely vibrant expression of Sonoma County Chard, superb contrast of stable acidity with integrated flavors of green apple and tropical fruits that delivers a crispy, mineral-driven long finish. Cheers! — 7 months ago
