2009 Olga Raffault Chinon Les Picasses Cabernet Franc

PnP with no air and drank over 2 hours on a lovely 85 degree early summer day. Very rustic, with lots of sediment and almost what I’ve heard called a “farm wine”. But that enhanced the experience and made this a real treat. Not for the high faluten this pleases an astute palate but is not for the rose crowd!

Ragged on this a few years ago but coming into its own now. Beautiful red fruit, cola, bracing acidity, and an ending that goes on for 30 seconds. Very nice, a little unique and with 2 hours of air, it's fantastic! Great qpr.....

2014 Rudius Mourvèdre Bedrock Vineyard Sonoma Valley

My first experience with a 100% mourvedre, and if this is representative of the varietal I will need to look for more examples. Deep inky color, faint earthy notes and, yes, burnt caramel, which lifts this up and keeps it from being overly brooding. Neutral oak was a very good choice, and lets the grape speak for itself. High and low end notes aplenty. Great experience, and I'm glad I have a case to work through! Good buy at $30.
