While not on the same level as the 2010 Left Bank I opened a few months ago, the profile of this 2011 Right Bank was squarely on the bridge between Sonoma and right bank Bordeaux.

About 60 merlot/ 40 CabFranc. 13.9ABV

Pours a slightly fading red-black. The entire time this was open, the aromatics sported a distinct funk that I’m struggling to describe…whatever comes before brett, that’s what this was. A mix of earth/forest, mineral, fig and a small hint of leather (I’ve come across a similar profile in older warm vintage right bank Bordeaux…but this is cooler vintage Sonoma). The palate is structured but in a nicely balanced phase…red and black fruits, more fig, and espresso at the finish.

Followed over the course of 4hrs from bottle, and while the last glass seemed to be a bit more integrated, I think these are in “drink now” phase. — a month ago

All Repris wines are excellent & this is no exception. Eric Bradley has mastered making wines very unique but all share a common smoothness. — 4 years ago

Opened as a side by side with a 2010 Domaine de Chevalier. This Repris is 50 cab/20 merlot/ 20CF/ 10 Malbec (versus the cab heavy and petit Verdot blend of the DC).

Whereas the 2010 Chevalier has the roasted Bordeaux funk (which I enjoy), this trends more of the brambly/fig profile. Very much in the deep red and black fruit style, this is deeply colored in the glass with roasted plum, fig, cassis, and black-cherry mocha aromatics. The juicy-ness of the Malbec hits immediate on the palate with blackberries and licorice, followed by the weight of the CF/merlot/Cab. Ripe dark red and black fruits, plum, dark cocoa, kiss of green/herbs. Big structure (oak frames it, but isn’t obtrusive) and finish at this stage. Holding strong, but in a good window. Quick 30min decant and follow for a few hours. — 3 months ago
