Dans Nos Caves
Bevan Cellars
Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.
.
Even though the Tench Cab was drinking pretty tight it was still excellent and expressive with fine, sexy, controlled tannins, loads of baking spices, plums, blackberries, boot leather, clove, and lavender. . — 5 years ago

EE Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017
Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.
.
Drinking tight, as most were tonight, but excited at the potential for this bad boy. Lovely aromatics and rich dark red fruits, spices, leather, and tobacco. — 5 years ago
Rèunis à Cébazan
Les Argelières Grande Cuvée Pinot Noir 2015
Delicious, big, bold for a French Pinot.
Chocolate covered strawberries? A suggestion of them anyway. And yes a dash of vanilla to the nose as mentioned on the back label.
Label says par Marilyn Lasserre.
Also, oddly, the label says mis en bouteille dans nos caves and also ...M E b par les producteurs Reunis a Cebazan. — 8 years ago
Maison Gilliard
Clos Du Mont Les Grands Mur Diolinoir 2018
Beautiful bottle in the style of which our Swiss friends have the secret. Diolinoir grape variety reminiscent of Syrah with less violette notes. Black fruits, sharp acidity, and drying tannins. Spicy. Flexible and marked by liquorice. Good balance. 🇨🇭
Belle quille dans le style dont nos amis suisses ont le secret. Diolinoir cépage évoquant la Syrah avec les notes de violette en moins. Fruits noirs, acidité vive, et tanins asséchants. Épicés. Souple et marqué par la réglisse. Bel équilibre.🇨🇭 — 3 years ago

Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.
.
Such a legit wine! Expressive and so much fun to drink. Sweet dark fruits, cedar wood chips, Christmas spices, and licorice. — 5 years ago
Bevan Cellars
Sage Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.
.
This was the showstopper. A brand new wine brought to you by the Bevan dream team and it was amazing. This is the one wine I continually came back for, revisiting it time and time again. Lovely tannins, balanced structure (even for a 2017). Love this wine. — 5 years ago
The Bevan team made their way to Fort Worth back in Oct and we had a lot of fun. Such a fun group! We were also able to visit them in Feb in Napa but we only tasted ‘16s.
Yes, they’re a lively bunch for sure. Russell’s quote of the night: “Keller TBA is not a wine you consume *with* someone you love, it’s a wine you consume *on* someone you love. The navel provides the perfect receptacle to drink from.” He’s a hoot.
Château Lagrange
Les Fiefs de Lagrange St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2010
La puissance et l'élégance réunis dans ce Fiefs de Lagrange sur ce grand millésime. Une bouteille d'une extrême jeunesse, cassis, cerise, fraise avec un boisé intégré. On a peine à croire que c'est un second vin il surpasse très probablement le 1er vin des années 80.
Remarquable à déguster ou à mettre en caves pour encore 10 ans. — 8 years ago
