Ruby to purple in the glass. Medium- to full-bodied, classically styled, primary crunchy cherry and blackberry fruit, this has a cool-climate feel with its bright and fresh aromatics, mouthwatering acidity and floral/spicy nuances to boot.
Lovely! — 9 months ago

Nice smooth black cherry front. Sneaky blueberry sliding in underneath. Light leather but not the boot. More like the bridle. Very nice mid- pallet with a flower touch. Dark in color but light in mouthfeel. Would be a Desert winner but dry enough to be a single sipper. Nice! Great with chocolate! — 2 years ago

Wowie. Dark, ripe, dry tannins, deep red fruits and iron. Showing some secondary aromas and flavors (espresso, rusty metal and earth) but tons of fruit to boot. This is in a great place but will keep evolving beautifully for years I suspect — 4 years ago

Nice evolution and well integrated. 92 that pushes 93.

The other wine from the great Napa producer, Philip Togni.

The mouthfeel is supple, round, soft, yet meaty and tarry tannins. Ripe, juicy, rich; blackberries, baked plum for days, dark cherries, black raspberries, hues of raspberries & boysenberries. Black licorice, berry cola, muddy, volcanic clay, herbaceous notes, soft baking spices, slightly, melted chocolate, dark spice with a touch of heat, coffee, dry crushed, rocks, dry stem, dry tobacco, new leather, oak to cedar shavings, volcanic ash, dark, slightly withering, red, blue flowers framed in a field of endless violets, rainfall acidity, great balance, nice tension/structure and a smartly polished finish that last a full minute.

If you own, I would drink over the next 3-4 years before it starts to slide.

Excellent Beauj I picked up at an independent store on Dixie Hwy…recognized Thevenet from an earlier rating….classic muddy fruity Beauj that will be really awesome in ~5yrs, but drinking well now — a year ago

Pleasant, good value Malbec (85% with 15% Merlot) with raspberry, dark plum, cocoa and pencil lead notes on a firm spine. Good focus and energy here, and quite food friendly to boot. — 4 years ago

This is an interesting, funky (in a good way) white blend. It’s a flavor train I like to be on. Good acidity to boot. 🚂 — 6 years ago
