As we roamed Medoc Mountain, the ground gave a discourse on mushrooms—kinds that clean up the forest wood, kinds that might kind of be edible, kinds that kill. It was the same ground that a hundred and seventy years before talked abundantly about grapes— grapes good for making wine, grapes good for resisting rot, grapes native to here and nowhere else. It does not really talk grape anymore, and though I wish it would, I know I should also learn more mushroom.

Four Loco

I experiment with a lot of cheap Bordeaux (I consider anything under $40 “cheap Bordeaux”) and while it is an interesting past-time, it can–as most of you know–be fraught with a LOT of disappointments. It doesn’t stop me though! The vast majority of these wines fall into one of two catagories: so harshly unfruited and unapproachable their value is nil, or so ‘California-esque’ in ripeness and…

Chateau La Tour de By

Rượu vang Chateau La Tour de By Medoc được đánh giá là có hương vị phức tạp và hấp dẫn. Ngay khi khui nắp, bạn sẽ cảm nhận được hương vị đậm đà của quả mọng đen chín như việt quất, anh đào đen và mận đen. Sự hiện diện của các hương gia vị như hương gỗ sồi trầm lắng và chút cay nhẹ của tuyết tùng làm gia tăng thêm chiều sâu cho mùi hương của rượu. Điểm nhấn của hương vị rượu là sự xuất hiện của các nốt hương da thuộc vô cùng độc đáo và mới lạ.

Château Julia

Château Julia Haut-Medoc Bordeaux, France 2018 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot Château Julia is not like other wines. The winemaker decided – against the trend in Médoc, where there is a preference for Cabernets – to make wines predominantly of Merlot. This means a Bordeaux that is more plum and cherry driven with less tannins, yum.

Sophie employs traditional, small-scale winemaking methods: the grapes are sorted on the vine, picked by hand and the wine produced plot by plot to get the very best from the vines. The grapes for this red are grown on a mixture of clay and limestone, harvested by hand and then aged for 12 months in oak barrels.

Her two vineyards have been in her family for four generations. Unlike her forebearers who sent their grapes to a wine-making cooperative, Sophie has chosen to make her own wines, under her own name, at Château Julia - Julia is a contract of her children's first names: Julie and Lucas. Expressive, fruity, full bodied red, powerful yet elegant. Medium tannins and high acidity.

Tasting notes: dark fruits, blackberry, cassis, violets, chocolate Pairing: beef, lamb, game

High Mountain

I gotta say something about this wine… I can’t just group it into a bottle-post and say “This was good.” It goes way beyond that. 15 and 16 were interesting vintages in Bordeaux, with intensely structured wines and the latter seeming a bit more *user friendly* than the former. And this 15 checks all those boxes with aplomb. Dark and dank, it showcases black fruit, figs and concentrated cherry in…
