Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Largest house in France, founded 1743 by Claude Moët: Rose, blend of 43% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, & 15% Meunier, aged 6 months on lees. Following a stormy winter, wet spring and dry summer, surprisingly the wine has great balance. Medium salmon color with aromas of sweet red fruits with notes of floral and bread toast. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry with spice, biscuit and floral notes. Great balance, ok bubble flow and light mousse, lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, floral and toasty mineral tones. — 2 days ago

Brought back from a trip to Australia.  to create Étoile our wine makers delve into our remarkable library of Vintage brut, drawing together eight exceptional vintages, each layering a distinctive chapter to build depth, texture, aroma, and lingering flavors. We raise sparkling wine to new heights with a quintessential Australian exuberance that shows our love of place and possibility. Back Label. Nice work! — 8 months ago

[41% Tempranillo, 29% Tannat, 22% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.1% ABV] Uh, 2% CabSauv, and the wine is labeled as such in Delectable?? I guess I should just be happy they correctly identified this as the LCF Home Vineyard?? Anyway, l remember how, after the first 2-3 vintages (say, 2008-2010??), this was made in such small quantities, that even after begging Hank for my then-usual 6 bottles of this Sierra Foothills blend from the 10 acre (?) vineyard where their house and goats were being run, but always understood the super tight allocations. A field blend, with perhaps more rattlesnakes than grapes (of course, an exaggeration, though their dogs and cats might have agreed??), the complexity of this amazing field blend (the proportions of which ALWAYS varied year-to-year, depending on the weather and how the different varietals performed), which is why I always found myself begging for more, every year!! With all that said, I’ve found myself VERY SAD that Hank (winegrower/winemaker extraordinaire) and his beautiful French wife Caro (who made amazing goat cheeses from their herd of goats, it was always fascinating to me how the goats had ZERO issues with the poison oak all over their property), have closed down LCF!! Honestly, these two are the finest winery folks I’ve EVER had the pleasure of meeting and tasting their wines!!! — 3 months ago
