...herbal and green notes are coming to the forefront now, backed by more dark red dried fruit. Still juicy and a little tight, a bit high on the ABV%. Come back in a year or three, should be interesting.
I just tasted a 2025 barrel tasting of this vineyard and I think it's going to surpass this '22 very quickly. — 7 months ago
Rack of Lamb is on the menu tonight and this delicious, easy drinking blend of Grenache and Syrah (80/20), from a unique vineyard footprint that lies in both CNDP and CDR, comes this 2020 Les Quartz from the h in igh quality southern Rhone, Les Clos du Caillou producer.
It displays a gorgeous, leggy, red berry appearance that is backed up by perfumed red and black berry aromas and flavors.
Overall, it is full bodied, lightly structured with a good balance of crisp acidity and light, dusty tannins, which together, deliver a delicious, mouth coating finish. (BTW, It worked beautifully with a sashimi grade tuna appetizer!)

The ‘15 was great. The ‘16 is even better!
From magnum. The nose is dark and savory, with bay leafs and crushed rocks commingling with beautifully ripen fruits. Powerful and dense on the palate. The tannins are delicious, soft yet mouth coating. Probably needs another 8-10 to peak.
Fruits are from the estate Profile vineyard and Trumbull and Stagecoach vineyards. Predominantly Cab with Merlot and Petit Verdot. — a year ago
Great for the $! Buy again!

Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream chips when freshly opened. Some roasted peanuts, underripe cranberries, chives. Overall fun. Acid and tannins well-balanced. A great experience. Beautifully pairs with corn and some heat. We had it with shrimp tacos and lots of acid-based sides. Great wine — a month ago
