Domaine De Montvac & Château St Cosme

Château de Saint-Cosme

Condrieu Viognier 2018

As always love St. Cosme styel with their Condrieu. Great balanced of freshness, aromatics, texture and alcohol. Can sense the warmth of the vintage in the phenolic grip here. Beautiful almost red wine like florals, violet and lavender. — 3 years ago

Les Deux Albion Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2013

One of my favorite Rhone producers. Dark fruit, spice, meat. Very Northern Rhone, like a St. Joseph. Well balanced and excellent pair with pan seared skirt steak. — 7 years ago

Le Poste Gigondas Grenache 2008

My first experience with a "single vineyard" st cosme. Loved the nuanced smoky pig that elevates the black fruit and spices and makes this one such a quick drinker. — 8 years ago

Betz Family Winery

La Serenne Yakima Valley Syrah 2010

I didn't realize how new world this was until tasting after St. Cosme's Hominis Fides. Almost a chocolate milkshake compared to Cosme. That said, it's still quite balanced, with lots of intensity and a lengthy finish. — 8 years ago

Forge Cellars

Finger Lakes Pinot Noir 2014

Forge Cellars is an intriguing collaboration between Louis Barruol, proprietor of St. Cosme in Gigondas, wine grower Rick Rainey, and vintner Justin Boyette. Their 2014 'Classique' Pinot Noir is fine-boned and poised with floral, woodsy aromatics of decaying rose petals, hibiscus, underbrush, and sous. It's translucent quinacridone violet with lean, elegant curves underpinned by high-toned red berries, rose hips and crushed stone that tapirs to a lingering finish. 12.3% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago

Where is it in the Finger Lakes? Seneca would be my guess but I'm so new to that scene.

That's a great question, Chris. It looks as though they source from many growers, their website doesn't specify which vineyards or where. Interesting.

I've had another Pinot from the Seneca Lake area (on the west of it, in that pocket there) that was very nice, and surprised me with its depth & character for an Atlantic Coast wine. the winemaker was a talented younger guy... I'll find it. I have notes about it somewhere.

Alain Graillot

La Guiraude Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2016

Wow, difference in these two…Graillot…big sour/tart cherry, not a lick of blackcherry and razor acidity combined with the tart fruit…absolutely need food as not enjoyable by itself. Meat/pepper with smoke which I like…but perhaps to much semi carbonic as it felt it had some effervescence? Maybe flaw, maybe intentional but certainly a great conversation bottle…St cosme…tame and more black:red fruit, acid slightly less and overall more balanced…ive had 16 Graillot last year…don’t remember it being quite that acidic! — 3 years ago
