Dark purple with near black core. Inviting nose and medium full palate yield black currant, baked plum, and blackberry cobbler. Velvety tannins that only assert back-palate and on the lengthy finish. Add in the juicy, medium acidity and it's -- still -- an excellent companion for red meat centric meals. Filet mignon (or sirloin) with Bordelaise is a natural. Ready to drink now through 2030 if kept properly. — 10 months ago

From the Far Niente winery. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with floral spice and oaky notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry, blackberry and red plum with licorice, vanilla, leather and espresso. Tannins are fine, a bit tight, long finish ending with fruit, toasty cedar and earthy spice. Enjoyable now but a few years will reward. Pair this with a fillet mignon with a Cabernet sauce. — 7 months ago
A blend of grapes from the Montagne de Reims and the Côtes des Blancs, medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty notes, significant Pinot Noir in blend. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with lemon citrus zest and bread notes. Fine bubbles, light mousse, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and yeasty biscuit character. Pair this with shrimp cocktail.

Originally a blend of single vineyards, including 50% out of Martha's Vineyard. Deep Ruby, aromas of berry fruits, earthy oak & floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with hints of cacao, licorice and leather. Fine dusty tannins, good acidity, well balanced, ending with fruit and savory earthy mineral notes. Nice! Grab a Filet Mignon! — 6 months ago
Blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot & 4% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and slight spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, warm vanilla oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and soft earthy notes, will still develop. A nice fillet mignon with mushroom gravy will go well. — 9 months ago

Touch of sweetness relative to the extra bruts we were drinking alongside. Good pop to it. — 5 days ago
