Great Wines I Drank Yesterday!

2011-09-09T11:43:00.000-04:00

Premier Lunch with the top of the line of Concha Y Toro.

Hosted by John DeLeo of Premier wines, a small group of restaurateurs were treated to a truly PREMIER experience. All of these wines are favorably reviewed in my book, WINES OF PASSION: THE BEST OF SOUTH AMERICA.

Led by winemaker Sebastian Rodriguez, the high quality Terrunyo wines started with a superb Sauvignon Blanc that accompanied a delicious French Onion Soup. The Sauvignon Blanc was smooth, highlighted by delicious citrus tonalities. The finish is long and vibrant. Complex for a white wine, visions of white burgundy are inevitable.

Terrunyo Carmenere followed, while still on the onion soup and was fabulous. One of the great buys in the world, this carmenere is complex with smooth, long tones of blackberry seamlessly blended with violet flowers, herbs and peppers. A touch of minerality completes this fabulous wine.

These two highly rated wines by all the experts are found at Gol! for under $100.

The next level, and what a level it is, led to the Carmin de Peumo Carmenere, in my opinion the uncontested best Carmenere made to date. Peumo, like Apalta, is the Bordeaux version of Chile's fine wine regions. The great grand cru, Almaviva gets its Carmenere from the same plots that results in the Mouton Rothschild's star wine from South America

Carmin de Peumo is marginally more complex than the Terrunyo though I would not like to have to blind taste them to figure out which was which. Its minerality is subtle, the herbs and peppers are matured 18 months in French oak and berries and violets stand out throughout the magnificent taste until the delicious and lengthy finish.

For me the surprise of the lunch was the last wine, Don Melchor. A cabernet sauvignon (a small touch of Cab Franc is blended in) that is styled in Bordeaux quality, I was fearful that it would not stand up to the phenomenal carmeneres that preceded it.

Happily, the wine drank superbly and to my recollection, is the best Don Melchor yet produced. I look forward to comparing it in a future blind tasting against the best aged Bordeaux wines. This is a true special home run hitting wine at a fraction (a small fraction) of comparable European and Californian wines. Don Melchor ages nicely over 10 years and this 2007 is a keeper!

What I Have Been Drinking Lately

2011-09-08T12:05:00.003-04:00

Tonight I conducted a wine tasting dinner at Carmen’s Restaurant atop the Bridge hotel in Boca Raton. About 20 people attended, all residing in the area, and about 20% were non-American.

The featured winery was Montgras, a Chilean producer of fine wines. They drank wonderfully with the dinner prepared by Chef Dudley Rich.

We opened with a wonderful 2009 bottle of Chardonnay Reserva. The cool taste was crisp and featured a long, citrus-dominated flavor with a subtle but extended finish. I particularly enjoy this Chardonnay due to its lively tonalities marked with overtones of minerality. There is a smooth, delectable finish rare in most chardonnays. A delicious salad of greens made the first course a wonderful beginning to a rewarding evening.

The second course accompanies a delicious Sauvignon Blanc Reserva that sparkled with an alluring aroma of mixed citrus and herbal overtones. To the taste, we found lilts of flowers, long grapefruit dominated smoothness and an elegant finish. Bereft of any bitterness, this wine was a delight with the subtle crabmeat plate that accompanied it.

Our third dish was broiled salmon and we creatively served Montgras’ Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva from 2008, a Bordeaux-like product that was universally praised by the group of fortunate diners. Medium body, dominated by blackberries and currants, this Cab offered up uncommon smoothness with only 8 months in new oak barrels. The pairing was a first for most of the diners, but is one of my favorites. It happily displayed the long, extended finish of this superb wine and dispensed with prejudices as to pairing a terrific red wine with fish. The salmon was fresh, delicious and wonderfully prepared by Chef Dudley.

The final wine was Montgras’ Carmenere Reserva, a big, bold wine with a deep violet color. Exuding black currant with granite overtones, the wine offered a plethora of herbs, spices and pepper undercurrents that made the evening special for many of the diners who had yet to have the pleasure of a spectacular Carmenere. Matched with a perfectly prepared Chicken leg, succulently flavorful, this final entrée was perfection in style and pairing.

As I frequently do at wonderful dinners such as this, I encouraged the entourage to choose their favorite red wine to pair with the chocolate mousse dessert, which is always a pleasant surprise for those who have yet to have this privilege. I adored the pairing with the Carmenere and the evening was a divine gathering of wonderful food and true wine gems. Montgras is a magic, Chilean owned and run winery with a big future in the United States market.

WHAT I AM DRINKING TODAY. CHILEAN WINE TASTING APRIL 13, 2011

2011-05-04T17:23:00.000-04:00

Wines of Chile held a fabulous tasting of the Syrah and Pinot Noir Varietals that this country produces, 4 of each. In general all of the wines were very good, some outstanding, a few great. Here are my evaluations of what we tasted:

PINOT NOIR

VALDIVIESO RESERVE PINOT NOIR 2009 (CASABLANCA VALLEY, $16.99

I found this wine to be pleasing and quite good, though a little light in both body and color. There are other Pinots from Chile in this price range that are much superior, however.

VINA CASABLANCA NIMBUS ESTATE PINOT NOIR (CASABLANCA VALLEY, $19.99)

Deep in purple tones, this wine has good body and is well balanced. I found its texture excellent with many of the tonalities typical of good Chilean Pinots.

VERAMONTE RITUAL PINOT NOIR 2009 (CASABLANCA VALLEY, $19.99)

This was one of the more interesting experiences of the night. At first, I found the ritual to be tart and having a short, unpleasing finish. However, when I came back to it later, after having tasted all 8 wines, I found it to be quite smooth, with major finesse, and a long pleasing finish. It actually turned out to be one of the best of the night. Curiously, 3 days later I was having dinner at one of my son’s house in NYC and he pulled out a Ritual to have with pizza and salad!! It was really fabulous. I am now a fan. An outstanding wine for sure.

CONO SUR OCIO PINOT NOIR 2008 (CASABLANCA VALLEY, $65.00)

In my mind, Ocio was unquestionably the best wine of the night and is the best wine Cono Sur produces. It is a great wine and can stand up to wines 10 times its price from the best of France. It may not be DRC but it is a terrific version; long in the finish, smooth like silk, and with an individualistic offering of mild spices.

SYRAH

TAMAYA SYRAH RESERVA 2009 (LIMARI VALLEY ($ 17.99)

Subtly round, with good balance and a smooth finish. An outstanding wine, without being overwhelming, I found its medium body very pleasing.

LOMA LARGA SYRAH 2006 (CASABLANCA VALLEY, $29.00)

This boutique winery is one of my favorites. All of their wines possess tremendous subtlety and style. The Syrah is a very special version, French in style, and quite complex for this varietal. I found it to be very sensuous and delicious. There are less than 1000 cases made so it is a privilege to drink it. This is a great wine.

UNDURRAGA T.H. SYRAH 2009 (LEYDA VALLEY, $24.99)

This Syrah is quite different in style from the others, in part because Leyda Valley has a different climate, in part because the winemaker paves his own trail. I found it to be terrific in every way, body, aroma, and finish. A wonderful wine and a rewarding experience.

HACIENDA ARAUCANO RESERVA SYRAH (LOLOI VALLEY ($13.00)

This wine is very good, with medium body and a nice finish. It is a more traditional version but a solid product.

WHAT I AM DRINKING TODAY, APRIL 27, 2011.

2011-05-04T11:46:00.002-04:00

THREE GREAT CARMENERES!!

I brought some wine down to visit my friends in Key West, Florida. They prepared some terrific Grilled Gulf Pink Shrimp and we decided to go red, big red, some of my favorite Chilean reds: Carmenere! I believe that Carmenere is the next big thing in the wine world and is already attaining a growing fan base among cognoscenti. At my wine tastings, I always have a Carmenere, usually with a grilled “linguiça”, a wonderful pairing for a wine tasting event.

This time I brought 3 different Carmeneres, in region, in style and in price. All three stood up extremely well, although all three have different styles. Frankly, I was surprised how well the less expensive ones compared, so I went back many times to compare the tastes, aromas, finish and was extremely pleased to find that they all had their magnificent, individualistic style.

Natura Carmenere is produced from an organically grown farm by Emiliana, a wholly owned subsidiary of Concha Y Toro. Retailing under $10, Natura is a very special wine from Colchagua Valley. Like all Carmenere, it is a big wine. As produced by Emiliana, its corpulence is subtle, but strong with lots of spices and an incredibly satisfying finish. There is a minimum of oak influence and the Carmenere is nicely balanced with characteristic mineral overtones. This wine is special and very affordable. But let me emphasize that if the price were doubled it would still be worth it. A fabulous wine in all aspects.

Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva comes from different estates and is a rich, corpulent wine that is partially (about half the grapes) aged in French oak for 6 months. Somewhat darker, it is a dense well balanced wine that is filled with herbs and spices. A little more complex than the Natura, it is a work of art as it does not depend on oaking for its long, delicious finish. At under $15, it is a fabulous addition to any wine cellar.

Terrunyo Carmenere is velvety smooth and drinks like a top notch Bordeaux. WARNING: If you collect expensive Bordeaux wines, do not blind taste them against this Terrunyo as you may want to go out and sell the Bordeaux immediately. This is an incredibly smooth and long finish, full of finesse and style. Unlike the other two above, some 7% of the wine is from other varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Under $50, I love to challenge my friends to a wine tasting with it—it never loses.

None of these Carmeneres have any thought of under-ripeness, for which some experts criticize Carmenere. All of the above wines are special, individualistic and without fault in my opinion. It was very satisfying to see the first two hold up well after having the great Terrunyo and its incredibly smooth, long finish. Chile must do more to get the word out about these terrific wines!!

What I Am Drinking - March 19th.

2011-03-21T13:58:00.000-04:00

While visiting my daughter’s family in New York, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a wonderful wine tasting at their friend’s house. This was not just another wine tasting; the purpose of the evening was to present the 2009 version of a boutique Napa winery’s all time best production, whose 2008 version had just gotten a 98 from Robert Parker!!

And on top of that, the wine was named for the host of the party. Sounded like an invitation that could not be passed up.

Bevan Cellars is a small winery in Santa Rosa California. A couple of years ago, Eric Epstein visited it and fell in love with their wines. He hosted a party for them at his East Coast home to introduce the wines to his friends, who bought up a goodly part of the total production. These sales enabled the winery to grow and, in his honor, Russell Bevan named his new cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc after Eric: Double E Proprietary Blend. Michel Rolland tasted it and recommended Robert Parker try it. Parker gave it a 98!! For a winemaker, that evaluation is on par with winning the Olympics or being crowned Miss Universe.

Some 60 guests tasted this and other offerings from Bevan Cellars Saturday at the Epstein party and the wines were very impressive. The production is limited so there was not a lot to go around but the double E was truly delicious, with the 2009 version being even better than the 2008 evaluated by Parker. Additionally, another new wine, hesitatingly named after Eric’s wife Julia, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, was equally superb.

These two wines are very long in the finish with a silky smoothness typical of Bordeaux.

The grapes are rich and the French Oak helps round off a very enjoyable experience. The tonalities of blueberries and flowers come through with a flourish. Terrific!!

As wonderful as the Bevan wines were, Eric chose to open up his wine cellar of many jewels and generously poured some very special wines. The first was a Sassicaia 2006 which was simply marvelous. This is perhaps Italy’s finest wine and my favorite has always been Angelo Gaja’s wines. This wine is quite complex, with rivers of many grapes forming an orgasmic finish of bliss. This wine was served without any time to breathe, and yet it was simply amazing. I noticed that Parker gives this wine a 97!! Yet he calls it one of the best Italian vintages of all times, so go figure.

Next, Eric opened a Clos Apalta 2003, arguably the best wine ever produced from Chile. Selected by Wine Spectator as the wine of the year a couple of years ago, Clos Apalta is truly superb. The only stellar wine of the night that varied from the Cabernet base, Apalta is known as the Bordeaux region of Chile, where the best Carmenere is produced.

Very distinct from the other fabulous wines, this Apalta has lots of minerals to compliment the wonderful grapes and the aromas of violets that dominate. And the price is a third of the other wines, if that!!

January 13, 2011

Wine tasting with tapas at Woodfield Country Club. We tasted 7 different Cabernet Francs from around the world. Pulenta Gran Cabernet Franc Xi 2008 an opulent, purple in color, sleek in body, medium to full bodied wine. My personal favorite it came in first among the true cabernet francs in the wine tasting. I believe many people like big grape blasts and this one is more subtle. This is their first vintage sold in the U.S. and it is very special. Similar in style to a Saint Emilion.

JANUARY 15, 2011

I had the pleasure of sharing an exquisite bottle of Bodegas Caro 2006. This is one of the truly great wines of the world and one of the 2 or 3 best from Argentina. A joint venture of Lafitte Rothschild and Nicolas Catena, CARO (CA from Catena; RO from Rothschild) this bordeaux styled blend of 2/3 Malbeca and 1/3 Cabernet Sauvignon is silky smooth with a long, languid finish that makes a dinner exquisite. The minerality in the background of the wonderful subtle grapes complements a lusty rib eye. Using the aerator and a decanter the wine developed nicely within 20 minutes. Only $99 at GOL! The Taste of Brazil it is rated 94 by Robert Parker.

WHAT I DRANK LAST NIGHT

2011-01-10T13:08:00.001-05:00

FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 2011

I broke open a luscious bottle of Almaviva 2006. A product of Chile, Almaviva is a Premier Cru from Mouton Rothschild and Concha Y Toro that breaks all standards for a Bordeaux like Red. Made in a style similar to Opus One from California, also a Mouton Rothschild subsidiary, Almaviva is about a third of the price of Opus One and, unlike the latter, is ready to drink right now! This is a wine that ages wonderfully and should be a part of any serious wine collector’s cellar. It is a full bodied wine, consisting of a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Carmenere, 7% Cabernet Franc and a touch of Merlot.

I have tasted about 6 of the 12 vintages and am always amazed at how wonderful and round this wine is. “Velvety smooth….finest blending of tropical grapes….mild oak aging—ELEGANT. (Quotes from WINES OF PASSION: THE BEST OF SOUTH AMERICA). Available at Gol! The Taste of Brazil with a special price of only $99. Robert Parker 92 for 2006, 93+ for 2007.
