Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2022

Purplish in color with a reddish rim.

Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.

Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Mountain Cuvée Sonoma County Red Blend 2021

Wanted something to go with carnitas tonight. Not sure if this will pair well, but it is very tasty. I stole a premature sip while the meat cooks. Lots and lots of berries, tart, blue and red. I smell Syrah. Bright acidity, medium tannins. Terroir, stone. It feels a little Old World.

Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils

Cuvée De Mon Aïeul Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.

This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.

Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.

Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel
