Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2016

What a joy to find this bottle at a NYC steakhouse. It’s been a while. Initially turned on by these ancient Lebanese vineyards and organic practices. And blending fruit that we are Las Jaras use. Drinking well for being a ‘16. VA a bit high but reminiscent of some wilder Barolo — 3 years ago

My first Gonon StJo…unfortunately, I loved it. Wish these were easier to find at good prices!

At 8yrs, this was so perfumed out of the glass. At 90% whole cluster, it shows typical green/stemmy aromatics but it’s not the dominant note, trending toward green peppercorns, violets/potpurri, olive, and black cherries. Mineral notes, pepper, mix of red and black fruits, mocha, and so much verve on the palate, absolutely buzzing both days. This wine is floral and herbal but with so much power and balanced fruit…kind of a wild-ness to it that I loved. What a beautiful expression of Syrah. Killer.

Day two showed the whole cluster aromatics fade a bit, but it also showed the palate bulk up. So good.

@John Howard : Yes, I buy from all of those regions but the profile of this Gonon was so unique with its ripe fruit alongside the high percentage of whole clusters. Some of the Pax Sonoma Hillsides have shown a similar profile but have been inconsistent.

Vin Chocolat Noir

Smells and tastes like a tootsie roll. Also tried the Chocolat Almond which was the same with an almond extract after taste. Preferred the regular — 5 years ago

Barbera

Oddly enough had to go to Ohio to drink Ca grapes. Solid Barbera. Let it sit for a bit and when it opens , dam. That’s a good wine — 5 years ago
