Hanging out at Kevin's (Rocknroller)

Another fun afternoon drinking some really solid wines. All showed very well. Always fun.

• 2010 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 93 Points

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

  Nose: Big slate and wet stone minerals. Also a hint of very subtle petrol but not offensive....very cool. Some lemons come around after a bit of glass air time. Palate: Unreal balance and interplay between lemons and the lazer-like acid. The slate minerality shows up beautifully. Very pretty and elegant wine. Fantastic!

• 2013 Carlisle Zinfandel Old Vines 92 Points

  USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

  Nose: Really brambly raspberry aromas with some subtle cherry, mineral and vanilla hints. Very nice nose. Palate: Black raspberry, cherries and soft tannins. Very balanced and not showing the titanic 15.7% at all. Really solid effort.
