Such a wonderful racy wine. A lot of juice for the money. Was so refreshing and delightful with our tartiflette (a rich Alpine baked potato and Brie dish). — 4 years ago
It doesn’t get much better than this! I saved this for a special occasion and it really delivered. Perfect lemony apple acidity, perfect bubbles, maybe a little Brie en croute too :) — 5 years ago

Forgot it was Friday,Absolutely the best champagne I've ever enjoyed. Hints of brie apparently, which is not something I generally taste. Absolutely amazing scent on the nose, ultrafine bubbles, incredible all around. Great night celebrating Samer's birthday. — 7 years ago
Elegant and complex yet farmy and simply delicious. Makes me want to eat triangles of melted goat Brie and celebrate under umbrellas of red rains of GSM. A wine to celebrate at this afford. Purchased at $15, half price. Seriously?? Tell me how it feels to be grape-raped. — 8 years ago

This is a very enjoyable CDP.
Showing black fruits with earth notes, cola, dark chocolates, graphites and peppercorn.
Better after 3 hours of airtime when it shows the tannins and complexity.
Drinking nicely now and will be better in the next few years. I've had this vintage a few times before and it is getting better every 6 months.
Nice by itself or with food. I paired it with Brie cheese and light appetizers.
A blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 10% Cinsault.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

We had a busy weekend with some friends going through a few bottles. We started with the nice invigorating Riesling from Figgins. Not like the 2020 however. we paired it with some different light cheeses like Brie, Muenster cheese, an apricot flavored cheese and a garlic flavored curd cheese. They all brought different flavors out of the wine. Fun experiment. Interestingly, one of the bottles was carbonated 🤔, the yeast must have still been active. — 4 years ago

Ripe yellow apples, round creamy body with light dry bubbles. Super food friendly, but especially nice with salty potato chips and triple creme brie. Food Pairing Fundamentals Class 3/25/21 — 5 years ago

It's time for #MerlotThursday. Here is a nice one from California.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Pretty nose with blueberries, black currants, plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, spices, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, light vegetables and vinaigrette.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, vanilla, earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite and dark coffee.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very enjoyable Merlot from Santa Clara Valley in California. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
I've had this vintage before, and it is showing somewhat differently now, with more blue and black fruits. I'd like to see how it evolves in the next few years.
Needs an hour to open up properly and show tannins and structure.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and olives. Goes really nicely with an aged Brie.
A blend of 85% Merlot with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.
