Nose of lavender, dark chocolate, silky dark red fruits, vanilla notes, uncrushed black pepper, pine bark, plum and driveway tar. Silky palate, medium to full bodied, that starts with ripe red fruits and evolves into slightly smoky flavors, with dark red berries, pencil shavings, more baked pie crust than pure vanilla, tobacco and tannins that grip lightly, but dance in the background of a dry, slightly hay like finish that lays meaty on the palate for quite a while. — 9 months ago

Great blend with literally the kitchen sink of varietals (10!). Haven’t had their more pricy cuvées but if this is any indication, they knock it out of the park! Side note, gorgeous tasting room. @Ryan Colthorp came visit for a wine trip! — 10 months ago

🐟 What would you pair with grilled swordfish?

🍇 Tonight we’re opting for a rosé based almost entirely on the Tibouren grape. When it comes to Tibouren, Clos Cibonne is always an exceptional choice. 👌

Clos Cibonne is an iconic producer in Provence, France 🇫🇷 considered a guardian (and certainly a champion) of the ancient Tibouren grape, a rare variety with roots linking back to Mesopotamia.

🌿 Tibouren has a wild, rustic structure and is often used in the production of pale, perfumed, herbal, and unmistakably coastal rosés.

🍾 This particular bottling is the “Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes” made with fruit coming from some of the oldest Tibouren parcels on the Clos Cibonne estate (60+ years in age), lending depth and complexity and a runway for serious longevity.

🥂 Clos Cibonne also holds a coveted title as a “Cru Classé” wine based on the 1950s classification within the Côtes de Provence AOC. Its wines are among the most admired in the region.

🪵 Something that sets this rosé apart is that it’s aged under a fleurette — a thin veil of yeast (similar to the flor in Sherry) — in large, neutral oak foudres, creating a savory, textural, almost oxidative nuance that’s distinctively delicious.

🍽️ It’s a beautiful pairing with our grilled swordfish over thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes , cucumbers 🥒 , arugula and feta topped with a caper-olive relish.

🍓 The delicate red fruit, savory, dried herb (garrigue) and saline elements of the wine complement the flavors of the meal in wonderful harmony.

Cheers to the practice of food & wine pairing — may it be a lifelong endeavor!! — 2 months ago

Consistent notes from February 2019. Molasses Caramel etc and ultra smooth. A top quality rum from Nicaragua. Great minerality from all the old lava flows in that country where the sugar cane grows. 18 years old. — 6 years ago
