Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

2017 vintage. @ Mister A’s Restaurant, San Diego-Les Caves de St. Charles CDP dinner. Initially, an absolute ballbuster. Massive tannins with a modicum of velveteen fruit at the end of a long tunnel. After two hours? Surprise! Change partners and the nearsome, fearsome tanninfest coalesced into the velveteen fruitfest. Remarkable concentration, tho, from start to finish over the course of the dinner. Best newer-vintage CDP, out of roughly 200, that I’ve had in the last two years. Just a remarkable chameleon. Supposedly 50/50 Grenache/Syrah. Worth the hunt. 11.16.23.

50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. Deep ruby color. Dark berry fruit and plum aromas along with notes of mushroom, vanilla, leather and earth. Ripe dark fruit and prune flavors with hints of dark chocolate, beef jerky and coffee. Sharp on the “pruney” finish due to the pronounced alcohol. High acidity levels.
