Though the bell pepper note was quite prominent, the nose was nevertheless deep and inviting with cassis, blackcurrant, licorice, raspberry, touch of vanilla, and hint of smoked meat, thyme, and anise. Fresh and round acidity sporting a feminine medium to full body with polished tannins. Young and just starting to develop.
Clos du Marquis has its own vineyard and therefore is not considered a 2nd wine to LLC. As a matter of fact, it has its own 2nd wine. Paid a bit less than $50. A steal. — 6 years ago

Cool wine. Really interesting beeswax element on the finish that you usually see in skin contact whites. Guessing.m it relates to the fermentation or aging vessel. — 5 years ago
Quintessential LLC Napa. 14.5% abv. Dark chocolate. Dark berries. Tabecco. Licorice. High acidity. Medium tannin. Probably great with steak but I had it with rotisserie chicken and Italian sub. — 6 years ago
Tasted blind. Similar descriptors for this wine sitting next to the 82 LLC. Bright fruit. Earthy. Wow factor with puckering acidity going up against a strong core of fruit. Also very young in its journey. Needs a few more decades to acquire some complexity and secondary/tertiary characteristics. Also 94+ — 6 years ago
Loving this Spanish dessert wine - smells of raisins and dried fruit - very much like a sherry but far less expensive. Will be gifting this for sure. — 7 years ago

January Wednesday Wine Committees are always a great as the red wines are required to be 11yrs old, making all of the reds 2008 vintage. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine were served today, all blind.
I called this WA state Syrah. It was between that and northern Rhône...the fruit here was more prevalent and while the aromatics matched with both options, the funky, iron, stewed meat notes didn’t translate to the palate. Smoky and dark fruited. Drinking a little thin. I’d drink up if you have them. — 6 years ago

Bubbly bubbly. Woah. Apple cider like quality. Vivacity. Cola-like essence. Blades of grass, for sure. Kind of an odd, yet still refreshing, Riesling. — 5 years ago
