Broc Cellars

Lone Pine Vineyard El Dorado Lagrein 2023

New grape for me, and new Broc for me. Love it! The nose is a bit green and underripe, but the fruit is amazing. Red current, raspberry, black cherry, some strawberry, but damp and dark, then it turns dry. Great balance of fruitiness and dryness towards the end. Some tannins on the finish and subtly herbal, but not much. Pure dry fruit for quite a while. Comforting winter red. Lovely label. With pizza.

As with other Brocs, this doesn’t hold up so much on the second day. Drink fresh.

Yakima Valley Riesling 2022

Crispy, tart, refreshing. Pears and stone fruit with a hint of minerality. Mouthwatering finish, I keep wanting more! This has everything I love about Riesling wines. I can't believe the price was so reasonable - I will keep an eye out for this one! — 2 months ago

Estate Bottled Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep ruby in color, almost inky, with a reddish rim.

Nose of blueberries, black currants, black plums, light oak, earth, dark chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with black currants, plums, stewed cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and sour raspberries.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley is still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature.

Fruity and interesting. Spicy and entertaining. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux at this point. Very Interesting.

A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Needed 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it definitely needs time to show its capabilities.

A good food wine that will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc and a touch of Merlot. Aged for 18 months in (65% new) French Oak barrels.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$60.

I love good Zin but won’t buy anything 15% or more. Trying to speak with my wallet. Rockpile is great terroir. No need to jam it up. But I’m just shouting into a gale.

PnP. Lovely purple color with red tones. Raspberries, mint, and eucalyptus on the nose. Fruit forward but somewhat muted on the palate. Medium depth and short finish. Nice! — 3 months ago
