i asked for something interesting & unusual and this was suggested: southern Rhône varietals from CA, and it was fantastic! pours a deep rich ruby, opaque and wafting a cornucopia of aromas, intoxicating: first it was all exotic spices like clove & incense, garrigue, then it was cherry compote then it turned to raspberry pie, dried orange rind, dried herbs, pepper, etc. My first CA wine that smelled like high end CdP - liquified distilled voluptuous aromas & flavors. palate was so jam packed, med bodied, finely grained tannins, silky & suave - balanced acidity. screams old vine fruit handled well — 2 days ago

That lovely focused nose of blackberry pie.

Loads of boysenberry, Blackberry, precise fruit, very balanced and spicy with eucalyptus, a faint memory of clove, subtle, yet noticed tannins with this citrus acidity.
Has that lovely juiciness of Zin without the cloying fruit. — 2 years ago

Cved 10/22/20 with 1998 vintage. Deep yellow color but no sign of oxidation. ‘98 deeper yellow and hints of oxidation. Both drank well. Age has muted the wood and creaminess that must have been present in early years. Good with butter lemon chicken. 8.8 for the ’98. Better and more balanced than the Neyers NAPA which was sampled afterwards. Opened '97 12-6-20. Stood up well to mix of leftover dishes from chicken wings to chicken pot pie and golden beets. — 5 years ago
