I just found this hiding in our cellar, given the age on the wine, I thought that this would need to be dispatched with urgency. I could not have been further from how it actually presented.
The nose is lively and almost raucous. Loads of cherry jam and cinnamon. The palate is dense and compact, showing absolutely no signs of aging. Cherries, cedar and sweet jam are joined by powerful tannins. I’m floored as to how well this has presented. Kudos to the winery.

Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 2 years ago

Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A nice, clean and crisp Sauvignon blanc. There were flavors of lemon and apricot, and hints of dry and green grass all paired with a low minerality (which I always like). Easy drinking. Would love another bottle with lunch on a summer’s day. — 3 months ago

Nerd Duck Fernão Pires - Baga Blend

NV. Had a wonderful five course dinner with excellent beverage pairings next door at Tail Up Goat and then stopped at Le Mont Royal to have something while thinking about calling a ride home. We were reminiscing with the waiter at the restaurant about a Pato anfora red wine we had there pre-covid, so when I saw this wine on the bar list, I knew I was ordering it. Cool, tart, and a little spritzy. Perfect after dessert. — 10 months ago

Kith & Kin Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Med+ body, med acid and tannin… red cherry and vanilla aromas, red fruit flavor, caramel and woody; for a mass wine, somewhat simple, kinda big, but not exactly unlikeable. — 2 months ago

Round Pond Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter in color for a 2019, more of a medium ruby. Nose is cherry pie, not tart cherries but sweet black cherry. A bit of dust and a lot of cedar chest. Great structure, smooth tannins, and medium to full-bodied. The lighter color fooled me into thinking this would be a lighter cab, but it packs plenty of punch. The finish lingers especially pumping those cedar notes throughout. — 2 years ago
