Nice decently priced Napa Cab. Part of the Stormy Weather vineyard, this was a solid Cab, with a decent finish. — 5 years ago

Probably my last bottle of Rose this year before the weather turns cold, and it’s a good one. Very aromatic with perfume, strawberry, tangerine, grapefruit, watermelon, sea breeze, and hint of white flower. Soft and smooth on the palate with medium high acidity and a bit saltiness, yet the finish is fresh and crisp. So nice!

40% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 25% Mourvèdre & 5% Cinsault.

N: Orange blossom special. Herbs( I guess you might say alpine) Straw, rocks.
P:Zing! Bright acidity melts into an herbal, mineral bath. Very forward.(front part of the under palate)
Young winemaker working near Mt. Blanc in Valle’e D’Aoste. An interesting Feb. quaff for sure, I could see a case going fast in the warm weather.

Newish vintage, 600 cases produced. 94/6 blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne from three vineyards: Boushey (81% GB), Weather Eye (13% GB), Olsen (6% R). Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral, vanilla and mild aldehydic barnyard aromas. Guava, lactic flavors, tropical fruit finish (banana then coconut? But this ain’t no Piña colada). Lingering cherry and heavy (skin and seed) tannic aftertaste . This is either serious experimental winemaking, or ultra craft-focused ‘blanc de noir’, or is this just their iteration of a pale “orange” wine? Massive tannins for a “white” wine. Not a wine for the faint of heart. Dry, just enough acidity, fruity but still pondering this one... The trop fruit flavors backed off, with cherry and other red fruit and Grenache character flavors emerging after 30-60 minutes. Tannins also softened somewhat, with patience — 5 years ago

Think I like this better than the last Miraval vintage which is to say, totally solid and yum grocery store avail rosé that when the warm weather beckons you can crack alongside your springtime frolics. But like, better than a lot of rosé. Maybe not on par w my faves but damn enjoyable. Okay WSET-(ish)analysis.
Eye: almost salmon
Nose: medium intensity raspberry meringue and an invigorated river
Tongue: medium plus acid, medium alcohol (13%) and medium plus bod for a pink. Flavors of raspberry foam, vanilla cream and, like big stones tossed into a cobbler, damn that is not technically wset but I’ll save those notes for the test I have coming. Anyway yum. Maybe I am too happy to drink a happy pink lime Miraval but I’m into this one about as much as I was the year I discovered it which I believe was the 2015 vintage. Yay. Go on now. Taste n tell me your thoughts. — 6 years ago

Straight forward easy drinking cold weather white. Citrus zip with a clean finish. Great with a simple meal of chicken, lemon, and parm. Not too much acid. Cheap and tasty. — 5 years ago

All 5 BDX Varietals led by CS and Merlot in a typical bombastic Paso style. The fruit is amped up, acid is fairly low and tannins are medium. I do appreciate that in a hot weather wine they kept the alcohol fairly in check at 14.4% — 6 years ago
