XAVIER VIGNON LIRAC ROUGE 2016
92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
the 2016 Lirac showcases ripe fruit, ranging from raspberries and cherries to hints of stone fruit. Yet, it's not over the top or simply fruity. This full-bodied wine adds hints of leather, garrigue and licorice along the way, evolving from creamy to velvety on the palate and through the lasting... More -
CHAT. DE LA GARDINE CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Powerful layers of dark, spicy, intense fruits soak your palate and hit your nose. This is going to need time to develop, allowing the layers of peppery fruits, herbs and tapenade to come together. The wine is always a bit of a chance as there is never any SO2 used during bottling.

A GSM blend from Washington... not quite thirds, but there's enough mourvedre in there you taste it.
Nicely dark and brooding. You'll want steak with this -ribeye or prime rib pairs nicely. -

Missouri-sourced oak from coopers Demptos and Nadalie provided a torrefaction and roasted lactone barrel signature. The final blend is a balance of the two primary varieties, the Cabernet Sauvignon component was selecte... More

LEESE FITCH FIREHOUSE RED BLEND
This wine is plenty oaky but backs it up with nice rich and ripe fruit flavors too. A deep color leads to aromas of wood char and baking spices. Blackberry jam and blueberry flavors seem to fill the mouth and light tannins add some good structure.
