This was number 2 of 4 from Costco package. Pleasantly surprised. Agreebwith the fact it needs a little time to breath. Opened well. Nice mouth feel, dry and smooth. Dark cherry and raspberry. — 5 years ago

El Principal (Valette Fontaine)

Memorias Red Blend 2015

Vino color rubí con cuerpo denso y clarificado. Notas de amaderadas, frutos rojos, zarzamora, vainilla, canela. Vino muy bien balanceado, con astringencia y acidez media.
Este vino tiene una alta retención y sin duda cada sorbo invita al siguiente.

Recomendable al 100.

Le Vin Maghani Saint-Chinian 2014

Killer. Rich in red and black fruit, in herbs and incense spices, rich in body. Good lift from the acid. I wish I had had the patience to let it breathe for longer but it was heady out of the gate. Paired w Live/Dead. — 7 years ago

Valette Bush Crispo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

We enjoyed this wine during our first dinner in Healdsburg last week. We were drawn to this wine when we learned that the winemaker is Bob Cabral who was once at William Selyem. He is now at Three Sticks but has the Valette wines on the side. This wine was full bodied, elegant, earthy and absolutely delicious. I was happy to learn that you can order directly from Valette wines. — 4 years ago

Château Pavie

Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

One of the last great vintages from Jean Paul Valette - deep purple color with a tawny rim, fresh nose of cedar and cassis with wonderful fruit soft tannin and along finish. Perfect now. — 6 years ago

Philippe Valette

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2015

High flavour intensity, a bit bigger bodied than optimal, but balanced by a high acidity. It feels slightly less fresh than just over a year ago, alcohol is a bit more prominent at the moment. — 7 years ago
