Maybe just past it’s prime, decanted for 2 hrs and showed well. Heavy cedar and pencil shavings. Blue and heavy dried black fruit. Very nice with Hunters Stew. — 3 years ago

Awesome co-fermented Syrah with Viognier. This wine is rockin’! Black, blue and red fruits earthy leather and spice notes. 2016 vintage is worth every penny. It’s only going to get better with more bottle age. — 3 years ago

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon DI CO is a very pretty, delicate wine. Aging has really given the 2018 an extra level of polish I did not see in the barrel sample last year, especially in its contours. Inky dark blue/purplish fruit, sage, mint and lavender add expressive layers of aromatic nuance. This is an impressive wine, especially in its peer group. Readers who want to drink the 2018 young should give it a good bit of air first. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

Night and day difference in showing from this bottle in March. In hindsight, I think the last one may have had travel shock. Tonight, 2013 CSJ coming from 100+ year old vines is superb after a lengthy slow ox, soaring from the glass with crazy aromatic intensity showing a delicate oak framed red and blue fruited profile with winter citrus, cocoa bean and red roses. The palate shows Grand Cru depth, stunning elegance and purity with fine grained tannins and a penetrating salty mineral laced finale that goes on and on. It’s still young, but 13’s from the big dogs are really starting to shine. Hold the reductive 12’s and tannic 14’s and pop the elegant 13’s. — 2 years ago

Drinking so beautifully for its age. Showing its complexity. Really floral on the nose, still has tart cranberry & currant with acidity still present supporting its structure. Red apple, raspberry, blue & black berries on the mid-palate, with mushroom & earthy finish. — 4 years ago

Scratches that itch. Hard to tell whether it’s a “true champagne” or a very good cremant, but at closeout prices who cares? 90. — 3 months ago

Spotted this 100-year co-op bottling front the great 16’ vintage for only $25, and could not resist to pick up one.
Stewed black and blue berries, black currant, ripe raspberry, dry herbs, hint of cured meat and leather on the nose. Medium body. The candied red fruits on the the palate feels a bit syrupy to me. The medium acidity leaning towards sour.
Predominately Grenache. Great price for a CdP. — 3 years ago

9.0

Definitely slow ox for a couple hours or decant.

Initially a bit rubbery? Turns to dried sage character, nice full cherry, blackberry fruit, very slight pepper, cinnamon

Soft tannins and medium- acid.

Such a great value. — 3 years ago
