Foillard, Morgon 3.14

Foillard, Morgon 3.14A sexy and bright wine with beautiful floral and berry character. Hints of lemon stems. Medium bodied, tight and intact. Pretty finish. So delicious. Fine. From old vines that are more than 90 years old. Fantastic. Drink now.

La Nerthe's 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes is a blend of approximately one-third each Grenache

Castelnuovo dell'Abate

engaging style

whose personal project came to an end with the 2019 vintage

and prune touched with smoke

soft wine is best consumed during its first 7-8 years of life

needs further cellaring

This too is extremely pretty with a high-toned red pinot fruit nose liberally laced with floral

(75% of the blend derives from 35+ year old vines in Les Barreaux and the remainder from 60+ year old vines in Aux Communes)

opulent and very rounded medium-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine supporting the solidly persistent finish that also exhibits a hint of bitter citrus

I am suggesting a slightly shorter drinking window than I otherwise would have assigned to this Carricante-based white

finely-grained structure in the mouth
