May 24, 2021 - Smoke, chocolate and black fruit on the nose. Good acid on the back. Medium tannins, with a lush mouthfeel. Not a lot of depth but lots of black cherry, blueberry, cassis and leather.

Full Pull Maison Bleue, 10/25/2017(Maison Bleue Frontiere Cabernet Sauvignon Waliser Vineyard) Hello friends. Limited trio of new releases today from the ultra-talented Jon Meuret of Maison Bleue, all single varieties from single vineyards in the Rocks District of the Walla Walla Valley. We typically get only one shot at these wines each year, and that shot comes now. When you factor in that all three wines have already received positive press pre-release, the likelihood of reorder availability dwindles further.The most limited of the three, so I’ll try to keep my prose limited too. It comes entirely from another Waliser-farmed vineyard at the southern edge of the rocks (location here), this one planted in 1998, and it offers a dynamite version of 100% Rocks Cab. Blackcurrant, loamy earthy minerality, topnotes of violets; it’s everything you could want from Cabernet aromatically. The palate is intense (14.5% listed alc), serious, with dynamite structure, especially in the form of ripe, fine-grained tannins, redolent of Irish breakfast tea. I love the balance of fruit and mineral elements here. Wine Advocate: Copyrighted material withheld.
