My favorite Chard producer in the country - USA. Rich and aromatic. Can easily go for a decade. Pineapple, lemon. Creamy back palate texture. Just 13.2% for Napa! 1200 bottles made 3 barrels? Burgundy like in style yet with this added touch of CA fruit. No butter or vanilla here. Just excellent wine making. Wow. — 4 months ago
13.5% ABV Salute to Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier in France. Lulu’s father owned the vineyard , and she along with her husband took it over. Sadly we lost her in October 2020 at the age of 102 y/o. This is a blend of old vine Mataro and Grenache. Light salmon color, watermelon initially , later apple. Very nice! — 3 years ago
Lots of dark flavor. Close to Elyse — a month ago
Rose in October? Rose with ‘age’? Yes and yes, especially when it’s in the mid-70s in New York and it’s the ‘21 Bedrock Ode to Lulu. This wine gives you plenty of Bandol for the buck, based on old vine Mourvedre from premier vineyards. With another year in bottle, it was darker hued, subtler and perhaps even a bit sturdier than on initial release. A great wine for what feels like an endless summer. — 2 months ago
Drinking it too early, but excellent blend from an old vineyard. — 5 months ago
A lovely Bordeaux blanc blend that includes wine from the oldest Semillon vines in the country at 130+ years old. It lacks the depth of previous bottlings, perhaps in part because of an early harvest for certain parts of the blend due to fire risk. Still, lots of potential. Straw colored, honeyed nose, crisp, light, lemon and mineral. — 3 years ago
