Creamy and perfectly balanced. Soft peaches and melon. Elegance at its best. Yes I am biased but still this is napa Chardonnay at its best. Russell is the King!

It’s another Shay Day at the Rivard household!!!
We opened this one yesterday and I neglected to post it. Thank you so much to my buddy Shay for sharing this beauty with us. Big bold and gorgeous, everything that I love from a napa cab.

Think I’ve posted once before. This was my bottle. Been almost two years since I checked in on this vintage. Bevan’s first after taking over for Morlet. Some Tench and Sugarloaf Mtn mixed in here I believe. Compared to almost two years ago, this has added some plum, overripe blackberries and some cedar on the nose. Not as heavy a palate as “better vintages”, but it works for this wine at this age. Kirsch, cherry tobacco, dark chocolate covered dates. Drinking probably at its best now than it will in its lifetime, so enjoy now!

Apr 27th, 2018@Shay Aldriedge thanks bud for a great surprise!!!! Awesome dark fruit on the nose., very well integrated oak/cedar, spice. It’s truly incredible how a vintage which was initially considered a terrible vintage has really shown itself to be magnificent in some cases. This is one of those cases! Very very good! Thanks Shay!👍👏👏👍.

Dec 17th, 2017Trying not to be biased (this was my bottle) but this was flat out killer! Best Addax cab I’ve had to date (‘10, ‘11, ‘13, ‘14). I imagine the ‘13 will surpass this, but this is just begging to be consumed now. Red licorice, bing cherries, currant, nutmeg and espresso. The finish on this was insane! Sad this was my last bottle. I believe this was Luc Morlet’s last vintage before Russell Bevan took over.

Nov 25th, 2017Uncorked this beauty on Friday thanks to the generosity of my bud Joe!!! @Joe Lucca . I loved this bottle!!!! Globs of fruit, well rounded and lush. Stylistically, It definitely has the trademark Russell Bevan footprint of being big, bold and beautiful! Decanted 2 hours and it was purring!!! 👍. Thank you bud!!
