Molly's Cradle Wine

Château Bellisle Mondotte

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Robbing the cradle. 15% abv. and it’s not shy about it. 80% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. Needs 3+ hours of air if drinking now. Powerful, spicy, earthy nose. Tannin is wonderfully approachable. This wine is gonna slap in 2030. — 4 years ago

Rías Baixas Albariño 2014

El sabor intenso a chabacano y cebada de este vilanovés es muy cautivante. Los albariños no defraudan, eso para mí es un hecho hasta el momento. Refrescante como la brisa de Pontevedra de su cuna.

The intense flavor of apricot and barley of this vilanovés is very captivating. Albariño do not disappoint, that for me is a fact so far. Refreshing as the breeze of Pontevedra from its cradle.

Cave de Lugny

Les Charmes Mâcon-Lugny Chardonnay

Bright fruits on the nose and to start with a nice light buttery finish, but a nice acidity. Molly's notes: green apple, lemon and creamy finish. Lovely alone on this warm spring day! — 8 years ago

Angeline Vineyards and Winery

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Lots of red fruits (cherries, strawberries) on the nose and palate, some vanilla/leather and lingering spiciness. Very light bodied for a cab, a smooth juicy mouthfeel with some tannins. Molly's review "my instinct is to marry this bottle with s'mores at a WI fall fire pit." I usually don't go for cabs; this could change my mind! — 8 years ago

Terre di Talamo

Piano Piano Maremma Toscana Cabernet Blanc - Sangiovese Rosato

Had at Sara's baby shower (twins) at Molly's in April 2017. Bought at Total Wine. — 9 years ago

Corison Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Yes, this was cradle robbed, but so delicious. Gorgeous nose, with almost everything but fruit. Slate, rock, earth, blood, spice everything you want and need. On the palate tart cherry and gorgeous acidity keeps you coming back. — 9 years ago

Domaine Michel Gay et Fils

Corton-Renardes Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Robbing the cradle but this is so damn good! Great texture, balance, and length. Supremely satisfying and refreshing. With time this will develop all the layered joy of great Burgundy, for now it’s impressively delicious. — 6 years ago

Durigutti

Mendoza Cabernet Franc 2017

Robbing the cradle I know, yet have to taste when I grab a trinity.

Smells like roasted animal fat (as a Pescatarian, the same qualities are very similar) and old socks.

Tastes of olive oil (Animal fat) Herbs de Provence, leather, Tabac.
This finishes with medium tannin/acid mouthfeel.
This is a nice Cab Franc. South America shines!

Primarius

Oregon Pinot Noir 2015

Dark black fruits and a hint of spice on the nose, silky smooth palate, medium body, light acid. More spicy than fruity but definite raspberry and blackberry in there. Molly's notes: black raspberry, black plum, earthy. A very drinkable pinot alone or with food. Yum! — 8 years ago

Excellent pull.... by far one of my favorites @Mike R ....if only I could get my hands on one. Philippe Melka does an amazing job for Lail Vineyards. Have you tried Moone-Tsai Cabernet Sauvignon or their Howell Mountain red blend?

@Mike R ... they are delicious for sure.... their Cor Leonis is simply amazing. Tied with Barnett Rattlesnake in my opinion.
