Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

I think this is much better than their regular Napa Valley bottling and worth the $20 premium.

The nose showcases the classic Napa fruits from a great vintage with blackberry, plum, cassis, cedar, vanilla, and touches of fresh herbs and menthol. The palate is supple yet lively, more about balance and proportion than power and depth. Quite elegant. Silky tannins.

Sounds lovely! I’ve been wanting to try Heitz, as I’ve read their style is more ‘classic’. Sounds like the C-91 may be a good starting point.

@Joel Lara I think their regular Napa Valley bottling would also be a good introduction to their style of winemaking. However, I have not tasted any vintages after 2018, a year when the winery was sold. Hopefully the new owner keeps the tradition.

Nicely aromatic & restrained (for Australia) with purity of dark fruit (blackberries, plums, mulberry), nice depth and excellent tannins quality - juicy, polished, finely grained.
Very elegant & with beautiful balance between the ripeness & savoury notes.
A really lovely wine!

2021. Wow. Had no idea Australia was making such good chard. Mineral and crisp. Lots of almonds, apples green, and pear. Slight honeydew. Long finish. Captivating. — 5 days ago

One of the best Chardonnay’s made outside of France. I wish they were a little more affordable because I would drink them all the time

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Deep cherry red. Oak+ vanilla clove nutmeg. Black currant++ blueberry black cherry and berry. Leather+ meat. Elegancy more than complexity. It changed a lot over time. 30 min the started feeling the value of this. Compared with the last one, it has big potential, though it has already been ready to drink, since it is 2017 vintage.

PnP. Dark red color. Nose seems a little oxidized on the nose, which was strange as the cork was good. Fruit forward with plums, blackberries, and subtle anise. Medium plus depth and finish. Not what I remember from V29. — 3 years ago

Master Series Extended Tirage Brut Oregon Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2014

#AgedWineTuesday

Light gold in color.

Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with tiny bubbles.

Showing apples, light grapefruits, limes, earth, spices, herbs, minerals, light yeast and sea salt.

Long finish with limes and herbs.

This is a delicious Sparkling wine from Oregon. Elegant and rich, soft and smooth. Nicely balanced and complex.

This 12 year old is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Easy drinking, engaging and entertaining, and a great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 65% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier. Aged in stainless steel and neutral French Oak barrels for 6 months. Made in the Traditional Method and disgorged after 10 years.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$80.
