Our Wines & Spirits

Allen Meadows: An intensely floral nose of rose petal, violets, distinct herbal notes, plum, Asian spices, soy and very fresh, airy and lilting red berry aromas that are cool and assured and complement to perfection the poised, pure and harmonious middle weight flavors that ooze a very fine minerality and are supported by equally fine tannins on the discreet yet stunningly long finish. This is completely Zen in that the 'wow' factor is the perfect harmony and proportionality of the elements. Is this one of the best RC's ever? No. But is it one of the most impressive from the standpoint of understated grace and class? Absolutely. Note that as I mentioned with the La Tache, there does not appear to be the usual separation between it and the Romanee-Conti versus the other wines in the range in '07, at least not yet.
