Maison Fort Du Roi

Y Rousseau

Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Ming L
9.4

A wonderful Mount Veeder Cab that has aged elegantly.

The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum laced with savory notes of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant with silky tannins has firm grip, finishing long with hints of cocoa and espresso.

Restrained power and finesse, Yannick brought both Veeder’s rugged characters and French precision. Last bottle. — 15 days ago

Thanks for the kind words @Dave ! I’m just an amateur at best.

Casemates mystery wine. Used a bit to poach some salmon, and drank the rest with dinner. It was delicious, and complemented dinner perfectly. — 2 months ago

Needs air but so elegant and gorgeous. Pretty. Roses, mid season. cherry, mineral and very open palate that is fleshing out minute by minute. Gorgeous, elegant tannins and very pure. Let’s see what air does. Such a wispy wine. — 7 months ago

last bottle and it was the best — ever!

opened for an old friend and after battling a broken cork and decanting, it ended up absolutely pristine, darn near flawless. A testament to Fred Scherrer — a day ago

I’ve been curious about this one, particularly for a family friend. Buttery?

@Chris Zitzman yeah, I would say so. Not as buttery as some others though.

While I wanted to enjoy this one it wasn’t my favorite. Was described as having some fruit present but fell short. — 7 months ago

Hi Shay! Same I love it. Sadly it was just a quick trip from Sacramento after kid volleyball matches ended for the day.

22’s having a moment now. This has glorious texture and mouthfeel and just takes over your palate with clear fruit and lovely spice. Out of the gates it’s raging. We will see if it closes up. As this opened the nose had dizzying spice and gorgeous, clear black cherry fruit. Unreal fruit density and sapidity. So close to a 9.5. — 21 days ago

First-rate #sonomacoastpinot #fortross producer so I could not pass up the WTSO special offer price on this fairly recent vintage. Seems to open up after a day or two in the wine fridge. Delicate nose of dried rose petal and cherries, medium bodied mouthfeel. Delicious wine but their Sea Slope Sonoma Coast lower tier offering was just as good with higher QPR. — 8 months ago
