Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Earthy nose with black fruits, cedar and lots of earth and vegetable notes.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, mediterranean spices, dark chocolates, bell pepper, green tea, diet coke and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 15 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the challenging 2011 vintage, is drinking beautifully. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and very complex. Elegant and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime. I did not decant it and let it open up in the bottle.

As it opens up, more bell pepper notes show up. Feels like a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Still drinking at its peak, but will not last long so drink up.

A great sipping wine that does not need food at all.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

Clear, pale ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary aromas of raspberries, hibiscus, and fresh strawberries, on the palate, it's dry with medium plus acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, light body, and pronounced primary flavors of sour cherries, black tea, and pomegranates with a long finish. This wine is simple, but with enough acidity to balance the fruit. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie liked it with food. — 2 months ago

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, tobacco, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, light cedar, espresso, herbs, earth and light vinaigrette.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, herbs, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, coffee, peppercorn, earth and mediterranean spices.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Fruit forward, rich and elegant. Very complex and engaging.

This 12 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is staring to drink at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 7 to 10 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the slopes of Spring Mountain were aged in French oak barrels. A small production of less than 8,200 bottles.

This is my entrance into the world of Chablis. Don't know how it took me so long, but I've also never seen Top Gun 🤷‍♂️ This wine has a supple mouthfeel despite it's bright acidity on the back of my tongue. Flavors of lemon and peach, with plenty of minerality on the finish. Thanks to my friends who gave recommendations- this is the first one from your lists that I found locally. Sorry we took over your comment section, @Doug Powers !

2013 vintage. Medium body. Spicy oak. Some mineral qualities. Drinking nicely now as a unified effort with all the components pulling the rope in the same direction. 11.2.26. — 10 days ago

Light golden color. Aromas of tropical, citrus and stone fruits, fresh herbs and freshly cut grass. Flavors of grapefruit, passion fruit, green apple and melon and nectarines with a slight note of flint/crushed stones. Medium finish and vibrant acidity. Just a hint of RS. Medium-bodied and crisp. Crunchy texture. Crowd pleasing and reliable but not spectacular. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — a month ago

Of three I’m posting this was my least favorite. Mineral, acid and a hint of fruit. Maybe it needs time to flesh out. — 5 months ago

Medium lemon core . Some ripe pear , citrus, white flowers , light white peach and red apple notes also with just a touch of toastiness. Quite ripe and generous on the nose . On the palate this is also generous in style , creamy ripe pear and lightly honied apple , white peach , though there are some more chalky , seashell elements that turn up on the finish . This is quite rounded but has enough energy and acidity to balance well, alcohol is also balanced , and there is a light saline hint also on the moderate length finish . This is drinking well now and I don’t see it being particularly long lived , so best over the next 5 years or so — 8 months ago

Fevre is always a solid wine. I think the style lends itself to playing it safe and down the middle. Never over top in fruit nor mouth ripping acidity. A safe crowd pleaser — 9 months ago

2012 vintage. Courtesy of @romo (nice to see you again). Cork needed very little coaxing for removal. Tasted after 30 minutes open. Savory fragrances. Less acidity than expected given the product/producer but tasted temp was in the upper 40's-low 50's. Light-medium body. A little crisp but not crispy. Could swear there was some Earl Grey in there somewhere dancing with impunity. No overwhelming, final boss component ultimately responsible for the accolades; it was more of a compendium of Etsy subtleties coming across as a hand-crafted effort. This is absolutely firing. And now. Cellar it as expected if you like but not 100% necessary as befitting a few previous vintages over the last three decades. 11.8.26. — 4 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2018 “S” pours a slightly hazy garnet/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of pomegranate, cranberry, strawberry, licorice, purple flowers, green herbs and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. I love me some Lapierre. Drink now through 2038. — 4 months ago

The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — 5 months ago
