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. This wine is a high-horsepower Cabernet, meant to be sleek, powerful, and fully able to go the distance.
LAST BOTTLE Notes,
Nellcote was an uber-pricey luxury Cab that recently closed its doors, and, after extensive tasting through all the brilliant, incredibly fine-tuned Cabernets early last year, that none other than Phillip Titus (yep, THAT Phillip Titus, the legend behind CHAPPELLET and others!) made,

An affordable jewel created by Titus Vineyards in Napa Valley, to showcase a Bordeaux-inspired red blend of 41% Cab Sauv, 22% Malbec, 12% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc, 9% Petite Sirah and 6% Petit Verdot, that work harmoniously and can entice both; connoisseurs and vino aficionados.
The V’22 Andronicus is well-structured and has a warm-felt welcoming encompassing a sort of Bordeaux-blended and the vivacity of the Napa County top medley. Attractive and distinctive color with a delightful aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry, punchy espresso and black teas. On the palate feels sophisticated, luscious, velvety and potent, yet mouthfeel is coating enough to swirl around multiple times before appreciating its concentrated finish. Some herbaceous and other Pyrazine nuances are noble and sensed at the very end as well. Cheers! — 21 days ago
Gift from Jim Titus. Well balanced tart and dry with mild sweetness from dark fruits — 2 years ago
Pale lemon color with pronounced aromas of citrus and floral spice, aged for a short period in neutral French oak. On the palate flavors of citrus, pineapple, pear and honeysuckle, slightly creamy. Medium+ finish, good balance ending with fruit and flinty mineral character. Enjoy with nice Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna. — 3 months ago
First Titus Pinot for me and very pleasant surprise. Being used to 'bigger' wines by this vintner, very sound expression of Russian River — a year ago
