The wine shows rich vanilla, oak toast, grapefruit, apple, dusty minerals and lime zest in the nose. Aromatic complexity is matched by a dry, rich attack, a persistent finish and plenty of acidity to frame this slightly stylistic impression of Clos Pepe in 2011. Savor with fried chicken or lobster with drawn butter.Pairing Suggestion:

Our 'last' stainless-fermented and aged Chardonnay exhibits a classic aromatic profile of peach skin, lime blossom, browned-butter, fuji apple, and the inimitable salinity/mineral character that has defined this wine over the years. Elegant and complex, these wines will age gracefully for up to a decade in a proper cellar. Some of the 2000 Homage is drinking wonderfully, a few bottles have shown oxidation beyond an appreciable level. Pair this wine with Oysters, Scallops, or BBQ.Pairing Suggestion:

A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and the balance Petit Verdot that will see 20 months in new French oak, it reveals an inky purple color to go with a rich, full-bodied, structured and concentrated wine that’s overflowing with notes of creme de cassis, tobacco leaf, wet gravel and hints of cedar. More structured and straight than the 2012 was at this stage, give it 2-3 years and enjoy bottles through 2028.”Pairing Suggestion:

Cabernet Sauvignon / Cabernet Franc / Petit Verdot

Even better, the 2012 L’Insolent is an incredible blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 18% Cabernet Franc that spent 17 months in new French oak. All from the Russell Family vineyard, it sports off-the-hook aromas and flavors of creme des cassis, black raspberry, tobacco leaf and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied, concentrated and seamless, with fabulous purity and length, it’s hard to resist now, but should evolve gracefully for a decade or more. Winemaker Guillaume Favre made the most of the 2012 vintage, and these new releases show the supple, pure quality of the vintage, yet have superb mid-palate depth and richness. Drink: 2014-2024. “Pairing Suggestion:

Clos Solene2010 L'Insolent Paso Robles AVA
“Coming from north-facing, igh density plots, the 2010 L’Insolent (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Petite Verdot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak)... “Coming from north-facing, igh density plots, the 2010 L’Insolent (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Petite Verdot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak) is a knockout effort! Incredible concentrated and rich, with notions of crème de cassis, toast, tobacco, licorice and smoked earth, it flows seamlessly onto the palate with full-bodied texture, sweet tannin and brilliant length. While no lightweight, it carries itself perfectly and has masses of sweet tannin adding focus and definition.Pairing Suggestion:
Varietal:
Cabernet Sauvignon / Petit Verdot
