Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2018
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red fruits with chocolate notes on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, coffee, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light black pepper, herbs and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 8 year old Merlot from Pomerol is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Elegant and fruity. Complex and entertaining.
Delicious right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. A great sipping wine, that will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in all new French oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Chenin Blanc 2020
Excellent chenin from Cali that is very true to the grape, citrus fruits and zest, florals, chipped rock minerality, and the telltale lanolin that classic chenin will usually have. Great acidity, med/med+, nose and med+ palate and finish. Top domestic chenin! — 4 years ago

Beau Vigne
Juliet Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Drank without decanting. Light on the nose and a smooth sweet taste on the tongue. Fruit flavors and not intense at all. Great wine and well named! Day 2: sweet fruity smell with more of an alcohol scent. As I taste it, I still taste fruit but it is a bit more acidic. Still good overall but not the same as day 1. — 7 months ago
Y Rousseau
Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
A wonderful Mount Veeder Cab that has aged elegantly.
The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum laced with savory notes of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant with silky tannins has firm grip, finishing long with hints of cocoa and espresso.
Restrained power and finesse, Yannick brought both Veeder’s rugged characters and French precision. Last bottle. — 9 months ago

Beau Tour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
My father has a case of these 1983 BV in his father’s wine collection. Have sat undisturbed for a few decades since my grandfather passed. Opened this for Easter dinner if braised lamb shanks. Had some cork breakage but decanted and let it breathe… it was quite delicious! Looking forward to drinking the rest of his collection! — 4 years ago
