Route 128

Spice Route

Chakalaka Red Blend 2016

Deep purple in color with a short reddish rim.

Pretty nose with cedar, vanilla, wild flowers, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with cedar, earth, herbs, black pepper, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a tasty red blend from South Africa. Soft and smooth with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Needed 4 hours to open up properly, so be patient.

A blend of 36% Mourvedre, 22% Shiraz, 13% Carignan, 11% Grenache, 9% tannant and 9% Petite Sirah.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

Lafon Rochet 2005

Nez principalement sur les fruits noir, cuir, eucalyptus! En bouche, c’est très bien, les saveurs typique bordelais, fruits noirs, tabac, cuir, cèdre , roches mouillées. Le vin est quand même puissant, les tannins sont présents et le vin a un bel équilibre. Va tenir la route encore
Longtemps mais c’est très bon en ce
Moment. Excellent accord avec le boeuf Wellington.

Premiere Napa Valley

Tamber Bey Auction 16 Lot 128 Cabernet Franc 2010

This was from a barrel lot purchased from the annual Premier Napa Valley auction in 2012 with 100% Cab Franc. Our group purchased this because it was the most Bordeaux styled of all of the lots offered. It continues to develop & evolve into a nice drinking wine. — a year ago
