Napa Valley Proprietary Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.

Fruity nose of black fruits, cedar, spices, chocolates and coffee.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth and Indian spices.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 17 year old Napa Valley Bordeaux blend is drinking beautifully now. Well balanced and elegant. Rich and extracted.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

It's always nice to drink wines from the iconic 2007 vintage. Love these Napa Bordeaux blends.

Robert Parker 94 points.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in New French oak barrels.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$150.

Le Pigeoulet Red Rhone Blend 2018

A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago

Clos de l'Ermitage Saint Claude Vieilles Vignes Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2016

Another star in Rosenthal book but I’m a bit puzzled by the muted enthusiasm on Delectable. Sure, not the last word on complexity but what glory in classic chard & Macon notes. Rich & minerally mouthfeel, balanced. Yeah, for less than 15$ local. So what’s the problem? — 7 years ago

Domaine Antonin Guyon

Clos du Roy Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — 2 years ago

Vignobles François Ravel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Color is a peachy blush, like Cover Girl from the 90s. Very slight orange tint. I’m drinking this a day old, so fragrance isn’t so pungent: smells like outdoor seating at a white tablecloth restaurant with white flowers, with an elegant woman sitting two seats behind you wearing Crepe de Chine or Amal Goutal— something classic. Also has an undercurrent of Lemonheads (chemical citrus) smell as well. Taste is surprising, not acidic but still dry/not sweet— caramel-like, with peachy strawberry taste and a short finish. Kind of has the taste of a merlot inhabiting a rose. It’s really nice. I often don’t like rose because it’s too sweet or too dry or always somehow tastes too similar... but this one was special. Perhaps one of my faves of the summer. — 7 years ago

Vignobles Brunier ( Frédéric & Daniel Brunier )

Le Pigeoulet en Provence Grenache Blend 2013

Old reliable. Always one of my favorite Rhones. Heavyish-medium body, heavy fruit, medium tannin, great food complement, mouthy. Even drinks well alone & is friendly enough not to overpower cheese or light hors d'oeuvre. — 10 years ago

Vignobles Paul Jeune

Domaine Monpertuis Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2006

Tennis ball scent, pepper start. Final prune taste, spicy notes and oak finish. Medium to full body. Great wine!!! — 11 years ago
