Tobacco Road Cellars

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 1998

Soft cherry fruit with a hint of tobacco and mellow oak on the nose. Beautifully approachable fruit it’s a tart note. Yummy — 7 years ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc

The QPR here is insane. Enjoyable now, plenty of cranberry, black peppercorn, green tobacco and pencil lead, but clearly age worthy also. Curious as to why this hasn't been snapped up by everyone yet — 10 years ago

Felton Road

Calvert Pinot Noir 2010

Best of both worlds. Violets, cherries, dust light leather. Boozy! 14% I believe. Lies off after about 30-40. Super delicious and different. — 11 years ago

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

2012 vintage. Good structure with big tobacco and baking chocolate notes interspersed with berry & cocoa flavors framed by spicy oak. — 8 years ago

Not like most Pinot Noir I've had in the past. This was richer and more full bodied. Delicious. — 9 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo

2008. Dried cherry, black tea, dried mushroom and rose, prosciutto. Minerality is reminiscent of standing on a dry, dusty dirt road. Only criticism is that it falls off in the mid palate, but finishes with a nice gamey note. — 12 years ago
