Clos de Pavillon Fleurie Gamay 2021

Superb nice nose of ripe cherry, a touch of Cola, hays, earth and leather. Wow this is so nice and inviting! The palate is so very well made, with a great acid backbone, some width, some cherry and Cola notes all along. A smooth mouthfeel that turns into a bit of a tannic wall in the rear. That structure is rather uncanny for a Beaujolais gamay! The finish is fruity with cherry but mostly marked by the tannins layer that dries everything out. That's a bold and structured Beaujolais here! — 6 months ago

Solerá 7 cépages Les Riceys Champagne

Medium straw . Quite green fruit nose , quince , bruised apple , white flowers . On the palate more strict quince fruit with a prominent mineral , chalky , oyster shell notes . Orange peel , white pepper on the finish with decent length with saline tinge . Really quite distinct, for drinking now and over the next 5-7 years . — a month ago

Cuvée des Ambassades Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2016

Redfruits, earthy, moderate structure, this seems mature and ready to drink, but is a nice Cru Beaujolais with moderate complexity. — 2 months ago

"Le Pavillon" Ermitage Syrah 2020

Phenomenal! Dark plum base but layers of exhiberant and concentrated small dark berries and red fruit jump from the glass, but all enveloped in deep, complex earthy tones. Palate is insane, minerality and acidity are tingling, almost sparking on the sides of the mouth, mingling with the very fine lively tannins. So much pleasure without sacrificing any seriousness — 5 months ago

Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

I’m rating this high just for the reason that most would not expect this Sonoma Blend to last this long & taste so good. No bricking whatsoever, plenty of fruit left with no stewed fruits on the nose.

I remember buying the 1995 when it first hit the store shelves for $25.00, it was the first time paying more than $15.00 for a bottle of wine! The only reason I bought it was because I liked the name🙄 turned out to be a very good rookie purchase unlike most of my rookie mistakes.

That’s two highly rated Sonoma Cabernets for you this weekend. 1997 was a grand Napa vintage. So, there is that but St Jean & especially A Raf make wines that age well. Glad you enjoyed this one.
