Chateau Le Vieux Fort

Fort Ross

Fort Ross Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

First-rate #sonomacoastpinot #fortross producer so I could not pass up the WTSO special offer price on this fairly recent vintage. Seems to open up after a day or two in the wine fridge. Delicate nose of dried rose petal and cherries, medium bodied mouthfeel. Delicious wine but their Sea Slope Sonoma Coast lower tier offering was just as good with higher QPR. — 20 days ago

Special birthday gift from a generous friend. This 375 is 🔥 with cola, cherry, sous bois, no alc showing on the energetic finish. Wow. — a month ago

Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay 2021

Pale yellow, looks inviting. Beautiful nose with some stone fruit, pineapple, and banana. Medium bodied, maybe on the light side. Drinks simply, more tropical fruit notes and light crisp acidity. Not a powerful wine but one with a good expression and a refreshing palate. — a month ago

Domaine du Vieux Lazaret

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2020

Blend of 45% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 20% Bourboulenc and 5% barrel-fermented Roussanne, pale lemon color with aromas of green and stone fruits with citrus and honey notes. On the palate flavors of apricot, apple, peach and pear, crisp with good balance of acid, still fresh and lively. The medium+ finish is tangy with smoky, nutty earthy ending. Good now, some age will benefit the wine! Nice! Be sure not to over chill as you will lose out on all of the complex flavors and aromas. — 2 months ago

Le Vieux Donjon

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2015

Medium-bodied but somehow rich, the 2015 cuvée from Le Vieux Donjon is loaded with sappy red fruit balanced by garrigue, anise, and florals. Easy drinking but not simple, it pleased a wide range of palates at our Christmas dinner. Still seems to have the legs to go a few more years. — 2 months ago

Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Polished, heady, and flavorful. Smooth PnP.
Not as energetic on day 2, which I often find with Grenache.
