11/23/2019 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 89 pointsNice light yellow color,very little nose unless our painting spree today burned our sense of smell ��! However the taste is explosivelly fresh with so much nice mineral, gosh we love Southbrook! Glad we have 5 more in our cellar as this wine with it’s tanin would probably keep and age so well, buth then again we adore it now ! Cheers! |

7/20/2019 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 93 pointsfollowing last night 2008 Chateau Montelena this one we think is even better, maybe more at it’s peak? Nice bright yellow (chardonneret-finch) color. Nose is light with citrus caramel if that even exist as a descriptor! Now the flavor so smooooth light caramel butter notes but not overpowering, nice acidity simply a joy to sip on this beautiful summer day. Bonnes Vacances! |

7/19/2019 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep sunshine color, we let it breath a little- served at 10 degrees, did not disapoint, so full in the mouth like we were drinking a red wine. A tad bit of vanilla, not too much, then orchard fruit- green appleish, some mineral. So full in the mouth. Reminded us that we need to watch the movie Bottle Neck! A magnificent wine and a magnificent evening. Need to go back to Napa soon :) |

5/5/2019 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 88 pointsDrinking this on the chalet terrace on May 5 2019, it finally feels like spring although lots of snow left and lake is not close to melting yet (I think it will be melted on May 19)! Nose on the Cherry side, nice dark color. Flavor cherry, smokey, woody and awsome- I am certain it will cellar for a few years so we need to get more for sure... and Gilles says it is super “good” so that says a lot LOL! My dad would have loved this wine too; I am thinking of him a lot today miss you Boubou :( |
