The Vault

Domaine Tempier

La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2017

Opened about an hour in advance of dinner and enjoyed over the course of several hours alongside the 2019 La Tourtine and 2020 Lulu & Lucien. No formal notes. The 2017 La Migoua is a veritable bank vault. The darkest of fruits and a mountain of structure. Like every other La Migoua I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing, this requires decades of time to uncoil. Keep this is the deepest, darkest part of your cellar for years to come. To my palate, I would probably hold until 2032 and then enjoy through 2057. — 2 months ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2020

2020 vintage. Plenty of spice and fruit…needs a little more tannic structure to vault it into must-have territory. Still delish. — 3 years ago

Château Peymouton

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Wowzers. Unexpected structure and fruit to vault this into the Must Buy category. Medium body. Clocking in at $22.50...errr...$22.60 (don't forget that new $0.10 per bottle CRV cost here in California) a bottle. Picked up a case. Let's see where it goes-or doesn't. 7.17.24. — 2 years ago

Broc Cellars

Luna Matta Vineyard Mourvèdre 2009

This is great, but was shocked that it had so much oak characteristics. Not what I was expecting! Nose is wonderful plums, fresh herbs, cedar, and even a bit of leather. Palate is more plums, cherries, red apple skin, then oak, baking spice. I really like it and would have never guessed this as a broc wine. Fascinating to go back in their vault. Would love to know more about this one. — 5 years ago

M5 Santa Barbara County Red Rhone Blend 2020

Ambitious vault and sticks the landing. A cheap GSM going for it. Big alcohol, rich fruits, simmered concentration. Jammy, new oak, meaty sharpy sweet core. — 3 years ago

Domaine Chante Cigale

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2017

Trying at the Wine Vault. Subtle aromas of cherry, slightly funky. Rich fruit and lots of depth to taste. Loved by the big reds group I’m with. — 4 years ago
