Napa Valley, California, USA
A very nice red blend from Napa Valley.
Dry on the palate and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates and mocha.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
Drinking nicely now and will be better in a few years. Needs time to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
Good by itself or with food. A great sipping wine.
Will be nice to revisit it in 5 years, but already delicious. Fruit forward and rich.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$110.

The 2018 Vin Perdu from Amuse Bouche is fabulous. Juicy and wonderfully expressive, the 2018 packs a serious punch while remaining very much medium in body, in the style of these wines. Succulent black cherry, plum, chocolate, lavender, spice and leather are front and center. The 2018 is a joyous, inviting red to drink over the next handful of years.

Better than the last time I had it but still not a ton going on in the mid-palate. Still, it is tasty enough.

I bought this bottle of Vin Perdu (or ‘lost wine’) from the Costco in Humble a week before Hurricane Harvey. That Costco received four feet of water. The wine guy told me they threw out every single bottle of wine, even everything up in the steel. So happy I was able to save this lost wine from being lost. Blackberry preserves, chocolate, toast, menthol, and leather. Delicious.

This is a pedal-to-the-metal, fun wine and very well-made; a big, substantial mouthful of wine..."

Decent, but the legend of Heidi wasn't shown here to it's fullest. I had the Amuse Bouche 2014 Horizontal together. Very linear, with florals throughout start to finish. The Syrah was greatly suppressed, with Merlot taking front and center, but lacked the velvety texture I would hope for from that style.

Loved this but then again is there anything that she doesn't get right? Complex, aromatic, beautiful finish and had great acidity to go with the pork. Clearly a balanced food wine. First time having it and my wife and I loved it.
