La Joie Sonoma County Red Blend 2013

2013 vintage. Decanted (throwing a small amount of sed) and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Medium-heavy body. Nose had the requisite and desired "funk." Amongst my handful of all-time best Sonoma Cabs/BDX blends (unfortunately, all too short after 32 years of extensive sampling). Phenomenal punch and acceleration. Shredding with impunity. Occasionally, that eff you ca$hi$h pays off. 7.19.24. — 4 months ago

Joie de Vivre Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

ESF
9.0

Nice, not great - stumbled on this in a small out of the way wine store, owner had personal friendship w/Jeff Gordon. Present very dark ruby, semi-opaque w/Old World nose of dusty cherry & rhubarb, musty, earthy, forest floor, some red berried fruit & currants, med bodied, smooth - believe this lost considerable weight over the years, more elegantly styled than sturdy & robust like many Napa cabs. Glad I got this on closeout pricing, pretty solid wine overall. — 2 years ago

PTG Okanagan Valley Red Blend 2022

This was outstanding. Had with a main seafood dish and it was light, fruity, with excellent acidity. Outstanding effort in BC Canada. Wish we could get these cool climate wines in USA. — 9 months ago

Le Désir Sonoma County Cabernet Franc Blend 2013

I’ve had both La Muse and La Joie so I was happy to get to try Le Désir. I think I like this cab franc dominated blend the best. The nose is floral with green fresh notes. On the palate it’s rich, full bodied with a luxurious velvety texture. Dark fruit, bell pepper, spices, licorice with powdery tannins that starts to melt into the wine completely. Starting to hit its peak. — 2 years ago

Célébration de la Vie Okanagan Valley Moscato Giallo 2020

This low-alcohol poundable has a great nose of orange blossom, but the palate is all lime and mineral. I didn't think much of it in the tasting room, but at home while canning jam in our steamy kitchen, theis really hit the spot. I actually quite like it — 3 years ago
