Excellent Beauj I picked up at an independent store on Dixie Hwy…recognized Thevenet from an earlier rating….classic muddy fruity Beauj that will be really awesome in ~5yrs, but drinking well now — 4 months ago

Have had a few bottles of this, took a flyer on a case from the Del Posto auction given it’s a birth year port. Not as deep or rich as some of the truly great ports I’ve had but still absolutely wonderful. Still has great balance and acid with a long finish. — a year ago

61% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot
Aging: 20 months in 15% New American Oak
Fermentation: Stainless steel

Solid choice for a cocoa/Espresso and fruit combo. Even though the claim is espresso, it might come across more like cocoa to me. Either way, I do appreciate the combo with fruit. Other claims are cherry and vanilla, which are not as center stage but more background singers of texture to the espresso/cocoa. This is interesting and worthwhile to periodically mix in with oaky blends, yet I prefer oak to cocoa/coffee most of the time. I’m curious if there are other better cocoa/espresso blends out there, but I’ll say this one is well-balanced and I’d gladly return. — a year ago

If you can get this fir the $40’s range - BUY BUY BUY!! if it’s regular price, there are more named vintners with better product from this region!! — 3 years ago

A Bronco Wine wine. Hmm, That’s the Two Buck Chuck company. This is Livermore Valley AVA though. Worth the $4 flyer at Grocery Outlet. Dark ruby maroon color. Smells dense and kinda complex. Hint of fresh herbs and smoke of dried herbs with the fruity stuff. Flavors are complex. Cherries in a woodsy bourbon barrel thing. Also chalk. (Good way chalk). Meaty streak. This would go well with a rare steak from the coals. Reminds me of nice St. Èmilion or Meritage type blends from Sonoma. This is a great deal for the regular price and one of those WTF deals for $4 at G.O. Just good to great Merlot. — 4 years ago

A purchase from Last Bubbles. Not familiar with this producer, but coming from a nice vintage and spending almost 11yrs on the lees was enough for me to take a flyer.

Paired with a massive spread of caviar, sashimi, oysters. As mentioned below, this was a bit one dimensional upon opening but fleshed out nicely an hour or two later. If comparing against a bigger name, I’d say this is in a vein of Bollinger (slightly big/rich, but balanced; toasty). Fresh lemon scone and puff pastry aromatically, but it goes a bit more salted popcorn, nougat-like on the palate and finish. While this doesn’t sport a ton of layers, it’s tasty and will hang in this drinking window for a while. I’d buy again.

Paired well with the 3L of 1999 SQN “Marauder” behind it! — a year ago

Fun label but often times that can mean not the best. This Rose from horse Haven hills stands out nicely. Very refreshing and crisp. I didn't know what to expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon Rose. I never expected something is good. — 3 years ago
