Surprisingly bright and tropical for a Cali chard. Lighter body and slightly mineraly. Very pleasant — a month ago

Bought as a half bottle to pair with homemade crab cakes, asparagus, and pan-fried chips. Lovely pale yellow color, fresh citrus and grass aroma and taste (with a hint of my favorite: green bell pepper) with a moderate alcohol sting on the back end. — a year ago

Dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, earthy, leather, pepper, plum. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acidity. Balanced with a long finish. Bold and smooth. Eminently drinkable now, but well worth cellaring. 49% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. — a year ago

9.0

A very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish/ brownish rim.

Fruity nose with raspberries, cherries, black currants, black plums, light oak, light vanilla, Mediterranean spices, licorice, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Medium bodied and smooth, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, green herbs, oak, earth, light vanilla, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries.

This is a very tasty and interesting Sangiovese from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, tangy and fruit forward. Soft and elegant.

Needs a few hours in the decanter to open up properly, smooth out, and remove some of the acidity. I really enjoyed it after 3 hours.

An interesting expression of Sangiovese. Feels like a blend of old and new worlds.

The high alcohol is very integrated, so watch out.

I had the 2017 before, and it is very consistent.

A good food wine, but good by itself as well. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers. Will pair nicely with red sauce Italian dishes.

A blend of 96% Sangiovese and 4% Merlot. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months (35% new).

14.9% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$39. — 3 years ago

HBTM! 🥳 🎉🎂 🎈

Really starting to come on. Beautiful mouthfeel & mousse. Apricots, both peaches, tropical melons, pineapple, some green, lemon/lime zest & notes of marmalade. Punchy minerality, pronounced chalkiness, brioche, yeasty, baguette crust, hints of cream, saline, pronounced sea fossils, yellow lilies/flowers, shades of white Spring flowers, racey crisp acidity, perfect; balance, structure, tensioned, length and smartly polished finish that lasts two-minutes.

The 166ème Édition is composed of 140 wines from 13 different harvests between 1998 and 2010, and it's a blend of 45% Pinot Noir with 39% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. Relatively young reserve wines makes up 42% of the composition, 2000 from Oger & 2006 wines from Verzy and Bouzy of note. It’s seen a minimum of six years of bottle aging.

Blend of 60% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc & 1% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in 25% new French oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark ripe fruit and sweet spice notes from a warm harvest. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum with soft sweet vanilla spice, cacao and cedar. Fine tannins, long finish ending with balanced mineral wrapped in espresso, cacao and oak. Nice!! — 3 years ago
