Domaine Berrien Cellars

Lake Michigan Shore Cabernet Franc 2014

Tonight's wine is the 2014 Domaine Berrien Cellars Cabernet Franc. Domaine Berrien is my go to winery in Southwest Michigan. Wally and Katie Maurer run a very good operation that I know I can count on for good expressions of Southwest Michigan wine.

On the nose is pronounced red berry fruit, cherry, sweet strawberry, sweet raspberry, pepper, herbaceousness, baking spice and dusty soil.

The red fruit continues through to the palate, tart strawberry, red raspberry, green bell pepper that I Love in my cab franc, tart plum, a touch of oak and a nice minerality.

This is a medium bodied wine with medium + acidity, medium smooth tannins and a long enjoyable finish. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Joseph Drouhin

Clos des Mouches Blanc Beaune 1er Cru Chardonnay 1997

Had a 97 Coulee Serrant earlier this year that ended up being so close to this in a holistic sense; that inescapable electricity on the palette and such a complex nose that could easily be mistaken for a shy nature of unripe fruit. It’s obvious why this is a premier Cru monopole that gets its own cute little label design in such a large wine-making house as Drouhin. Truly a special plot firing like proper vinifera nerve endings on planet earth should. Some may think this is subtle. This takes space and depth as the taster to allow this to sink deeply.👌🏼 thanks Wally wine for redeeming itself on this and Bachelet 05 aligote. These two whites have been some of the highlights of my recent wine experiences. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Much better than it should be for a bottle of wine less than $20 from Walmart. Found it neglected on the shelf and gave it a home.

Perfect depth, pleasant flavor and easy to drink. I only wish more of the staff at the local Wally World had cast out some of its friends.

The Islander Estate Vineyards

The Red Sangiovese Blend

This is not the Yakka Jack but just known as The Red, their entry level bistro/pub red blend of Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese and Shiraz. Good pepperiness, dry tannins good with a variety of foods. Drank a bit above its price point at $20. Tasted the full range at the winery. Highlights were the Wally White (Oaked Semillon), a 100% Malbec and their flagship The Investigator, 100% Cab Franc which was excellent. Love the Lurton Family philosophy in wine making technique here on KI as explained by manager, Yale. 16.5+ for The Red. — 11 years ago

Domaine Berrien Cellars

Pinot Noir 2012

In southwest Michigan I am a big fan of the Domaine Berrien Cellars. Tonight I have opened the 2012 Domaine Berrien Cellars Pinot Noir. Wally Maurer does a great job as owner and winemaker.

On the nose I am getting cherry, strawberry, some good funk, caramel, sassafrass, vanilla, light oak, rose petal and earth.

On the palate there are notes of sour cherry, strawberry, cranberry, clove, cola, mushroom, some herbaceousness, light oak and dusty soil.

This wine is medium bodied with medium to plus acidity and medium to plus smooth tannin that leads into a pleasant medium to long finish. A very nice pleasing pinot from the southwest wine region of Michigan. Enjoy the rest of your week and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
