Cru wine flight 28 Aug 2023




Poured these at a recent tasting...

2019 Mayer Chardonnay Yarra Valley

2013 Pehu-Simonet Extra Brut Villers-Marmery Les Chouettes Fins Lieux No. 7 

2010 Clos du Mont-Olivet CdP La Cuvee du Papet (2nd favorite)
2015 Chateau de Vaudieu CdP L'Avenue
2016 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard Walla Walla Valley
2015 Malartic-Lagraviere Pessac-Leognan
2015 Clos de l'Oratoire Saint-Emilion
2015 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Napa Valley (favorite)

The Pehu-Simonet showed better than six months ago when I tried it. 
The Mayer Chardonnay was a disappointment at that price range.
Beringer Private Reserve Cab may not be trendy these days, but it's a stalwart representation of how good Napa cabs can be.
Cayuse syrah have a signature herbal funkiness that diminishes over time. This example was not popular because of that unique nose and palate. Just too young. I like Horsepower better.
