Could there be a better thanksgiving pairing? Not planned, but this became the grand slam of the evening. So much ripe fruit - cherry, red plum, strawberry, pomegranate - but in the best way. Evergreen notes. Amazing orange marmalade 3/4 of the way through that carries through on the finish. Cola notes on the finish. Concentrated California Grand Cru shit.
100% whole cluster, high elevation & low yielding vineyard. 50%ish new oak.

Bizot tasting & lunch. Flight 1
Very rare with tiny production. Whole cluster with 100% new oak. When you taste these wines you can see why they have such high demand almost impossible to find & pricing is sky high. The 18’s were open & seemed ready showing beautiful red cherry, berry fruits showing purity & transparency with Leroy like spice & floral notes. Everything is in perfect balance. The 2020 will also be a great vintage

Estate Pinot expresses the terroir of 3 vineyards. Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits and spice, whole cluster pressed, fermented in stainless steel. On the palate flavors of blueberry and cherry with earthy tones, nuts and cacao. Full-bodied, fine tannins, well balanced, medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy spice notes. — 4 months ago
Still great, everything you want in a Pinot Noir rose. — 3 years ago
"Odedi"
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.
Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, light oak, licorice, chocolates, spices and earth.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Grenache blend is starting to drink very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Elegant and rich. Interesting and engaging. A very traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape in style.
Well balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of all 13 allowed grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but mostly Grenache. Hand picked and whole cluster. Aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
