Bulles de Comptoir (Face b) rosexpress14 Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Noir Rosé 2014

Champagnerosse i väldigt läskande och frisk stil. Har ljusa bär blandat med grape. Vissa jästiga toner som antyder viss samtida vinmakande. En rosé som verkligen skulle få belackare att vända. — 6 years ago

Jean-Charles Boisset (JCB)

JCB No. 21 Brut Burgundy Chardonnay

Alternativa mas económica que el Champagne. Buen balance de acido y azucar. Buena mineralidad con tonos de granito. Olores y sabores a miel tambien. Buen valor. ( B Fernandez) — 7 years ago

Limited Release Cold Springs Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Every bit worthy of a 9.5. Struggling to stay away from the 9.6. Never considered Cold Springs to be that vanilla rich BlackBerry infused Howell Mtn 'norm' that I see a bunch. This is a black cherry infused monster with a very potent and powerful front. Some acidity but mostly fruit on the front. More of an herbal infused middle with a touch of beef jerkey, black cherry, mint, cola. Finish still tannic but peppery. Probably the 'B' barrels of Aloft, and would love to do a side by side comparison. — 6 years ago

Same vineyard but different blend and a different winemaker than Aloft

Thanks @Joshua Fisher ... what this one needs most is about 5 years of bottle age!! Thanks for the info.

B. Leighton

Gratitude Olsen Brothers Vineyard Red Blend 2014

David T
9.4

Tasted the B. Leighton at K Vintners. B. Leighton is made by Charles's Smith's Wine Director Brendon Leighton made in conjunction with Charles. On the notes, sweet blue fruits and mixed dark berries leap out of the glass. Spices, loamy soils, dark florals and purple florals. The palate is M body with just M+ tannins. It starts with ripe, elegant, blue fruits, blackberries, dark cherries, plum, black raspberries, strawberries and again the heat intensity spices overlay the fruits. Loamy soils, soft volcanic soils, black tea, violets, red rose petals, perfect round acidity and lean, elegant, beautiful Burgundian finish. Really enjoyed all the nuances this wine offered. — 7 years ago

Rutherford Red Blend 2012

9.0

So...I am officially out of daily drinkers and this one came into play. This falls within our category between think twice 🤔 & don't touch 🙅🏼. @Larissa Mitchell gave me the go ahead b/c she didn't care for the timeshare like presentation (& pressure) we got to purchase at the end of the tour. Quintessa makes a fine wine - no salesmanship needed.

My Sunday night challenge to you
@David A Lentine @Martin G Rivard @TheSkip @Mike Rowe @Daryl Calhoun @Roy Goble @Carl Fischer @Jim Trobaugh @Mike Smith @Ron R @Charles Hetzel @David Goldfinger @David Trumper @Bill Bender @Paul T @Eric LaMasters @Eric Shanks @"Odedi" is to recommend Napa reds (Cabs, Merlot, Cuvée) from $30-60 so I can refill this week.

TN - The nose is strong with cassis and Rutherford dust. Makes me feel like I am laying on the side of the Silverado Trail. Decanted 1.5 hours and it needed it. Very silky on the tongue and dark ruby color.

@Michael Park I wish the Q was $60 but inspired me to ask the question for my typical range.

Charles Heintz Vineyard Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay 2010

Michael Cruse displays his deft touch with this compelling B d B. Fine bubbles release aromas of green apple, yeasty-essential oils, and citrus peel. Nice weight, cut and length. This continues to develop complexity since release. — 7 years ago
