Olivier Cousin’s son, doing cool things. This is on the light side of oxidative Chenins, just a little buzz upfront and then settles into refreshing sours. Intriguing. — 6 years ago

Nice meeting Paul Lato and talking about his wines.

This Zotovich Vineyard offering is delicious young but, will evolve into even greater pleasure in 5-6 years.

The body is full, round with beautiful texture. There is nice mix of perfectly ripe red & dark fruits with excellent blue fruits that hover around the plate. Gentle, soft wood use and subtle baking spices. This bottling walks the tightrope of Burgundy with its perfect waterfall acidity and round, soft structure and has Californian well ripen fruits.

He is one of few Southern California producers that doesn’t over extract and brings out those wonderful blue fruits I love in good Pinot Noirs.

Paul’s cousin was also nice to pour us a glass of one of their 2011 Chardonnays that was really beautiful and drinking at its peak. I didn’t get the vineyard designation as it was at the end of the event and security was being aggressive about clearing the hall. But, again, a beautifully textured Chardonnay that was round with beautiful fruit, great acidity and just the right amount of heather-honey notes. 9.5 on the Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

Cousin of the late Didier. Classic Loire. Fresh, floral, clean as all get-out. Palate is zingy, vibrant, but balanced. Lemony, touch of gunflint on the blowback actually, but not much on the nose. Leaves a very steely finish. Definite sense of place here. Well done. — 8 years ago

I dunno nothing about Greek varietals but this kinda bomb. It’s got plum and just the right amount of roasted strawberry and black pepper with a mid palate of nice structured tannins. Finishes crisp. Kinda like a slightly lighter bodied more delicate cousin of a frappato if that’s possible? — 6 years ago

I don't usually do digestifs, but John C insisted and it looked too interesting to pass up. Concentrated Barolo essence with a spicy herbal - even slightly medicinal - thing going. If you've ever tried the Italian cola "Brio", this is its alcoholic cousin. Cool end to great meal. — 9 years ago

Lots of forest floor and mushroom on the nose. Getting some sweet rhubarb and plum. First time with what was described as a cousin to Malbec - Jurancon Noir. Enjoyed this rare find. Hope to discover more! — 6 years ago
