Generations Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
Fresh with deep fruit. Just a touch of prune gives its age. Very good wine! — 7 months ago
Domaine de Roally
Tradition Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2021
2024 spring / summer. Yellow gold color. Round, fleshy, lots of sweet citrus and some stone fruit, a touch of residual sugar and no oak - this is my first time with Thevenet-Quintaine but understand this is the typical style. An interesting change of pace — 3 months ago

Domaine de Robert Cuvée Tradition Fleurie Gamay 2015
I’ve been drinking this slowly over a week and a half. At this point it tastes like a fortified or mulled wine. It’s deep, inky like ox blood, burnt copper color around the rim. The smell is mulled red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, dry earth, purple flowers, sweet lavender. Very delicate tannins remain with an acidity that tickles the edges of the tongue and fades quickly. What you’re left with is something that resembles a young fortified wine with beautiful red fruit, earth, a floral element that lingers, and a slight hint of mushroom. It’s quite lovely and unexpected. — 5 months ago
Cantina Terlan
Tradition Alto Adige Pinot Bianco 2019
Wow! What a fabulous bottling of Pinot blanc. Usually it’s crisp and dry, with great acidity. But this - 2019 vintage - has honeysuckle, green fruit, unripe peach alongside the usual Pinot blanc characteristics. This is delicious! — 2 years ago
Château de la Gardine
Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée Tradition 2015
2015 vintage. Not in the same league as the 2016 and 2017, but nevertheless an attractive wine. Golden yellow. Honeyed nose with subtle hints of rosemary and fresh mint. Round mouthfeel, lacks a bit of tension, but charming. Good spicy length. — 3 years ago

Domaine du Gour de Chaulé
Cuvée Tradition Gigondas Grenache 2018
Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with notes of floral, spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, raspberry and figs with licorice and herb spice. Fine tannins, nice texture, long finish ending with fruit and mineral spice character. Nice! — a year ago

A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)
