In December I took my Chicago Bear/San Diego-LA Charger loving Dad for a trip to to Chicago that culminated in a trip to Green Bay to catch a Packer game. We stopped off in Elkhart Lake with my friend from CA who grew up in the area and his sister runs the Lake Street Cafe in town. This was WOTN of the 4 wines that I brought to this leg of the trip. So much depth here, mouth coating tannins and gobs of well integrated fruit.

I am partial to this blend. Earthy and jammy but elegant after spending some quality time in the decanter. This particular vintage (2003) is easily good for another 7 - 10 years in the cellar.

Magnum; living large. It's the not the L'Espirt. It's their top of the line-- Les Pavots.

Always good, never had a Les Pavots I didn't like, this one isn't as refined as 02 & 07 but still worth the price,

The Les Pavots is one of my favorite Bordeaux style California Cabs. The wine is exquisitely balanced. Not a ton a fruit, perhaps a hint of berry. Earth and leather tones to me. Delicious.
