Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

A blend from several vineyards, including Middle Reach, Green Valley, Santa Rosa Plain, and the Laguna Ridge area. Bright Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, cherry and currants with pepper, tea, herbs, vanilla and oak, aged on French oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with spice, ripe fruit and oaky tones. Very Nice! — 12 hours ago

Well still quite the surprise for a 13 year old second wine. Medium garnet color very fragrant floral earthy nose with good acidity and weight on palate carrying through to finish with a hint of smokiness. Almost overpowered the plain roast duck but got along nicely with the Momofulu Chili paste that had just that touch of spicy note. Bodes well for the CDPs resting nicely. Did fade in Cali bothers after 3+ days. — 6 years ago

Love this! Perfect pairing for Icelandic Wolf fish and roasted veggies. Immediately hit with apple juice aromas. Pear, peach, and honeysuckle flavors. — 6 years ago

Lucky day. Trying this at a picnic in Bear Valley amongst wildflowers. Looks a bit like rusty nails. Brick orange to red rust color. Bit of ruby red in there too. Aroma is pipe tobacco or cigars with cherry cordial and dark cocoa. It smells great for an aged wine. Perfumed. Flavor is elegant. Plenty of acid after all these years and very smooth tannins for a Cab as I guess one expect after 25 years. This is just lovely well-aged stuff from way back. A great pleasure to have this on a plain of wildflowers on a lovely April Sunday. Thanks Nicole Salengo for sharing. Makes one forget about the Covid 19 crisis for a bit. — 6 years ago

Plain, just fruit and a bit of acidity to prop it up. Really suffered on a lineup vs other CA producers at similar price point — 2 years ago

My first encounter with this Moncuit and it's safe to say that the quality here is at least as good as their more famed namesake (at least for me). On a side note, does anyone know if or how Pierre and Robert are related?

This juice is plain electric. Not viciously austere like some growers these days, but definitely lean. The nose is fresh, floral, and chalky. On the palate, it is airy yet quite punchy with the citrus and mineral notes. There's a sliver of biscuit and nuts in the lingering finish. Builds with more minerality as it opens up with air. Really enjoyed this wine with dinner. Superb value! — 6 years ago

Okay, no one is confusing this with a Chateau Margeaux, but that's only because it lacks the really deep complexity. And many other ways, it has the rich depth and smooth tannins and even some of the aromas of the real thing. Lovely one. — 5 years ago
