Really dark in color, a bit dry and mineral but overall good for a really budget blend — 6 months ago

Domaines Sacha Lichine Rock Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Apricots - some nice fruit flavor. But alcohol is out of balance. I prefer whispering angel of Declan’s roses. — 2 years ago

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Red Blend

Paired with ratatouille and polenta. This wine was surprisingly complex. Aromas of tart strawberry and white peach has hints of floral and minerality. Taste is a delicate white peach tea with a splash of strawberry/raspberry quickly removed with a balanced tannin. This wine was great and paired amazingly with the food (as I would expect). Would drink again! — a month ago

Whispering Dove

Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Deep dark plum in the glass. Basically impenetrable. A touch of bricking on the thin edges. On the nose, the fruit is barely clinging on but still present. Plums and blueberries are the dominant notes here. A heavy dose of toasted cedar and green bell peppers. There’s faint floral aromas of violets along with a shock of burnt tobacco.

This is about as Napa as Napa gets. I was quite worried about how this Cab would present but it’s still alive and kicking. The end may be nigh but not quite nigh enough. Pleasant acid and well integrated tannins. Big and rich as you would expect an Oakville Cab to be but still smooth after hours of decanting. Plenty of chocolate with a dash of vanilla. The fruit on the tongue is diminished and subtle but still showing pretty well. Cherry pie and blueberry cobbler. The finish is medium length with just a touch of soft spice. This was so much fun and a great experience. Definitely mature and knocking on the door of almost gone but still good, nonetheless.

Ghost Pines Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Had NYE after dinner. An excellent Cab with nice notes of tobacco which I’m a fan of. Scents of tobacco permeate each sip. Nice notes of vanilla as well. Would definitely purchase this again! — 9 months ago
