Dark violet. Spice- and mineral-accented black and blue fruit aromas show excellent definition and pick up olive, smoky bacon and candied violet notes with air. Sappy and concentrated but energetic as well, offering palate-staining blackberry, bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors that become spicier as the wine opens up. Melds power and finesse with a sure hand and finishes impressively long and sweet, with chewy tannins building steadily. All whole clusters and 10% new oak, a combination of foudres and demi-muids.

Was so surprised at this one! Got it for a friend who loves Cab but is going to the Loire Valley and I wanted to show her a good expression of the reds from that region. Was delicious - easy to drink on its own or with food. Already bought a second bottle! $22. — 3 months ago
Robe typique jaune clair, ce vin charme en premier lieu avec ses beaux arômes d'agrumes, de citron et de pamplemousse rose, avec un soupçon de chèvrefeuille; la macération pelliculaire et le bâtonnage ont n'ont seulement donné à ce vin du volume grâce à une texture légèrement grasse, mais également de la matière et de la longueur; la bouche est donc savoureuse et fraîche sans être trop mordante. Une belle longueur sur l'apricot ou l'amande. — 4 years ago
Delicious and refreshing, white fruit, limited acidity but a nice bite. Excellent to pair with seafood. — 7 years ago

Another great Champagne selection from one of my favorite shops, MCF Rare Wine. 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier. Only 1670 cases per year. Lively acid, bubbles, texture and nuanced apple and citrus fruit under the dryness. For a very good price too. Beats many known producers with inflated price tags. — a year ago
Mature Cote-Rotie from Champet from Estate fruit. Mid level color with hints of orange on the edge- resolved tannins and a smooth textured mouth coating flavors. Very good. — 6 years ago

Ahhhhh. 21 N Rhône. I will drink 12.5% Syrah all day. Glorious. Needed an hour in the decanter and then it slayed. Meaty, floral, and so so fresh. — 13 hours ago
