10/22/2013 - jeffal66 Likes this wine: 89 pointsA well balanced, expressive wine full of black/blue fruit, coffee, chocolate, dusty tannins and earthiness. Good acidity, alcohol in check. Well priced under $18. |

4/5/2013 - La Cave d'Argent wrote: 85 pointsThis wine was tasted in double-blind fashion, with the bottle provided to our tasting group by D.L. It shows and opaque crimson robe, with moderately intense aromas of blackberries, vanilla and cocoa. The wine is full-bodied and fresh on the palate, with big sweet tannins and fairly well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.6%). The flavors mirror the nose and the middle palate is intact. Unfortunately, the finish is truncated and concludes with a whiff of heat (despite opening and presenting the wine at cellar temperature, warming up to 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit while on the tasting table). This is certainly not a bad wine, but it is equally certain that this will not ever be anything special. Drink now-2017. |

2007 Les Caves Roties De Pente CarignaneAlexander Valley more |
10/31/2010 - dynowine wrote: 91 pointsOld vine carignane (50 yr old?). This wine was very pleasurable in the mouth and on the tongue, no harshness usually evident with this variety or similar intense wines. Almost like a cooling drink of fresh mineral-laden water with a firm infusion of berry fruit and spice. Would be easy to drink the whole bottle quickly. Tested from a preservation machine. Attractive nose of soft pillowy floral and perfumey volatiles with a dose of cooling spices and dark fruit. In the mouth nicely balanced dark ripe berry-cherry fruit supported by pleasant slightly metallic acidity. No real warmth despite medium-high alcohol. Finish consistently and pleasantly fades from mid palate. 14.1% abv. Dryish. Body medium, acid medium, tannin medium. Tested at USD 27. |
