Château Pique Caillou

Pessac-Léognan 2020

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of black berry fruits and pronounced spice notes, blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. On the palate ripe raspberry and blackberry flavors with notes of cacao, oak and vanilla. Medium finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit oak, and earthy tobacco character. — 4 months ago

Me either. From the Abbaye St. Vivant vineyard in the Hautes-Cotes. Aubert de Villaine is leading a project to restore the Abbaye.

Mendocino County Pinot Noir 2019

Sour cherry on the nose & palate. Flat, tart front that quickly becomes a beautiful smoked raspberry, leather, blueberry, currant, violet, & milk chocolate. Medium bodied with a medium acidity. Doesn’t linger on the palate. Light and easy to drink, yet complex enough to pique my interest. — 6 years ago

Alder Springs Vineyard Syrah 2016

Stunning. Haunting. Stays with you. Syrah with a bit of Viognier. Floral. A Cal Cote Rotie... in fact I liked it better than the Rostraing tasted alongside. 70 cases... buy it if you find it... and let it breathe. — 7 years ago

Update: we've had 3 more bottles since posting and there was noted variation. 2 great. One seemed muted / shut down. One diluted... almost lighter... watered down.

Grenache rose. Pale pink, light, crisp, nice strawberry- like mouth. Cracked it to sit outside for a “warm” Friday afternoon. It almost hit 50! At least the sun was bright. — 6 months ago
