California Dry Rosé Blend 2017

A beautiful pale salmon colored Rose. A Grenache/Syrah blend. Aged with some used oak that provide a softness to the expression and finish. A head turner. — 6 years ago

Covert Estate

Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

9.4

Julien Fayard, winemaker for Covert Estate, Azur, Taplin Cellars, Matthew Wallace and more, stopped by Fort Worth tonight to showcase a few different wines. A pleasure to meet and share wines with!

This was fun to taste alongside the Matthew Wallace. Two very different AVAs (this being Coombsville, MW being Stag’s Leap). Both had similarities in dark fruit being the most dominant, but this had much more “cool” fruit notes as well as stone and graphite. This wine showed an immense amount of freshly squeezed blackberries on the mid-palate with cedar and mint. At 5-years old, it still shows as a baby with the tannic finish. Long decant necessary.

I was able to visit this property back in ‘16 and the caves and tasting room and drop dead gorgeous...some of the most beautiful I’ve come across. Entire line-up is very solid.

@Eric Shanks : The Covert line-up is strong from top to bottom, especially if you enjoy Coombsville cabs (which I think you do), but they are also not cheap. This one is $150. Their Sage Hill (Pritchard Hill) Cab is insanely good, but I think it creeps around $200...ouch. If you enjoy Julien’s wines (he also makes Purlieu and Le Pich, but I’ve had neither), then you will really enjoy these.

@Greg Ballington : I remember you posting about Scalon. Definitely a wine I’d like to try, including his Purlieu wines!
