Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Super-weird bottle. Mid-shoulder, crumbly cork, and the colour of freshly pressed strawberry juice - extremely pale as slightly cloudy! The immediate scent was quite off-putting but after 30 minutes it stormed back! Scents of autumn mulch, burning vine roots, sour cherries, and raspberry compote. A weird sourness and heady acidity on the front of the palette but it still keeps together well. Clearly badly kept but still really interesting to drink! A true testament to The quality of Mouton under the stewardship of the late Baron. I wonder if this is what some of the better kept bottles might be like in 100 years' time!? — 10 years ago

Back home in SD for a Labor Day BBQ and this was an easy pull for ribeye. Velvet tannins overlay a focused dark blue/purple fruit array with tons of spice box and mocha, and the finish is endless. TRB definitely has skills with respect to Cab. — 10 years ago

Chappellet

Signature Donn Chappellet Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Dang!!!!! I lost my first rating! Okay, once again. This is a 2011 Cab from Cali. Yes it is true that this was not the best year for California. However, for Donn Chappellet it has been a great success!!!!
This 2011 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon is superb! It is 14.5 % alcohol!!!!!! - decant at least an hour! It was hard! The cork was perfectly preserved. The decanting time was 1 hour. The color is pitch black with a purple hue. The legs are thick and slow. The bouquet is lavender and blackberry cobbler! The initial palate is fresh cabernet grapes, blackberries, raspberries, leather, and butter. There is no sharp nor astringent beginning. It is very smooth. The finish is moderately long with hints of green apple and oak. It is minimally dry. There is no spice nor pepper which would make it pure perfection. Therefore I give it a 9.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice review

True Myth Winery

Paragon Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway.
