Château Peyros

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 2018

9.0

Dense, tannic, medium weight texture, good acidity, a little stony earth and funk. Tastes Italian, but less rustic than that implies. A little on the simple side but tastes good wine for grownups. I imagine it could age a lot. 90. — 23 days ago

Dark ruby and intense in color. Nose of cigar box and leather which developed and a matured cherry flavour boosted.
A multidimensional palate with good structure of tanins, long finish.
Remarkable. — 4 months ago

The Owl & The Dust Devil Remolinos Vineyard Malbec Blend

Don Kelly

9.1

Bought this just to “try” with several friends at a home get together of several grilled meats; pork, beef and lamb “pieces”. The wine seemed to work nicely with all. Deep, strong hints of fruit and good tannin; I was a bit surprised because of the blends but found it to be a keeper. It has become one of our favorite wines to bring to others when visiting! Good reviews from all who received it!

9.4

Darkly floral and intense, the 2021 Casual Encounters blends black raspberries with cedar shavings, tobacco, and exotic spice. This is elegant in feel, with silken textures and decadently ripe red berry fruits. Cooling acidity maintains a fantastic balance as dark chocolate and balsamic spice firm up the finish, tapering off long and gently tannic. The 2021 is juicy yet expertly balanced.

La Clarine Farm

Home Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

9.4

Terrific red wine from the La Clarine Estate vineyard, reminds me a little of Domaine de Trevallon (Cab and Syrah, though here other grapes as well), big and rich still, showing just a tad of mature notes, long, persistent finish, hides its 14.5% ABV well, kudos to Hank!! — 3 months ago

Never heard of this before! Sounds amazing!

@Tom Casagrande, in the early days of LCF, Hank would make 20-50 cases of this, I used to be able to get 3 bottles (I might have bought 6 a few times). I actually don’t know if Hank is making enough of this these past 10 or so years to sell it commercially, I know I have some 2011 (which I’ll report on soon), but not exactly sure the last vintage I was able to buy?!?!
