When these are on, like tonight, it is magic. These go places other whites don’t, esp in years like 2015. — 10 days ago

Vampata Pinot Noir Rosé 2023

Continues to please, 4th year in a row where we’ve enjoyed this wine at the vineyard with a Margherita pizza. 🍕 🍷 Delicious with notes of strawberry, watermelon and citrus. Recommend both the wine and a summer time visit to Ex Nihilo and Chaos Bistro in Lake Country, Okanagan. — 4 months ago

Château La Conseillante

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Delectable Wine
9.8

The 2010 La Conseillante has been spellbinding since I first tasted it from barrel. It has an intense nose with black plum, cedar and graphite. It is vibrant and compelling with scents of camphor intertwined. Wonderful delineation; there are layers of aromatic complexity. The palate is beautifully knit with a touch of black pepper and thyme filtering through the black fruit. It retains so much energy on the finish as it fans out with class and verve. Magnificent. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

Lush bright berry forward with leather and a hint of chocolate. Good balance. Short finish. Drinking in 2024 aging further will not improve — 7 months ago

Clos Saint Jean

Deus Ex Machina Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

The color still looks good on this one but I’d like a bit more punch. It’s a bit on the soft side. Not over the edge but these need to be drunk. — 3 months ago

Interesting that they label this a “dessert wine”. It’s good for everything imho

Imported by Premier Cru. Pretty sure those guys went broke and scammed people. Hope someone else is importing these now….

Château Canon

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2016 Canon has a clean and fresh nose. The fruit profile is a mixture of red and black with just a hint of black truffle and licorice (the latter a trait that I had not picked up before). The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannins than the bottle four years ago, has a little more assertiveness and grip in situ, and is perhaps firmer and prepared for long-term maturation. It's precise on the finish. I would give this another few years in bottle. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York.

Night Okanagan Valley Merlot Blend

2020 NIGHT
43% Mero, 19% Molbec, 14% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon & 11% Petit Verdot
After 19 months in French oak, this Bordeaux-style red wine boasts aromas of plum, blueberry, blackberry, and cassis. The palate shows perfectly balanced flavours of haskap berry, blueberry, vanila, fresh ground espresso, and a touch of eucalyptus. The silky tannin finish is as long as warm okanogan nights

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Delectable Wine
9.7

The 2016 Montrose is a supremely gifted Saint-Estèphe. Very harmonious and precise on the nose, faint hints of mocha and freshly rolled tobacco are behind those floral scents, black rather than red fruit. The palate has very fine tannins, extraordinarily harmonious with a nigh-perfect line of acidity. There is a subtle crescendo that leaves you utterly smitten by its charms, a touch of graphite on the finish. I just have the feeling that this might close up for a while. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)
