500 Chevaux is an automobile racing term; French for “500 horsepower.” Nellcôte founder and vintner Tyler Olbres is an avid car-racing fan, and has himself driven in the Monaco Rallye for Classic Cars.

A proper Napa cab. Elegant complexity in oak flavors with accents of blackberry, dark cherry and licorice. A smooth and long finish delights the pallet. — 8 days ago
