96 MICHEL-SCHLUMBERGER
2013 GSM
Vin Ruisseau - Dry Creek Valley $30
Inviting blackberry, cherry, raspberry, strawberry and blueberry aromas complemented by toffee/coffee, pepper spice, burnt chocolate and oak. The palate has a nice, spicy character, the mouthfeel is smooth and everything you’d expect from a GSM, with a finish with burnt chocolate and oak that’s slightly distracting. Albeit, a really pretty wine. (tasted 3/28/15)

95 VIE
2009 L'Imaginaire Grenache

Pretty aromas of blackberry, blueberry and strawberry, with dashes of black pepper, floral elements and light traces of minerals. This is a wonderful mouthful of fruit and spice, ending in a well-balanced long, lingering spicy finish.
