Another mini comparative #wine tasting tonight - felt like Gamay again, so had Domaine du Maupas 2021 L'Indésirable and Guy Breton's Côte de Brouilly 2021.

The former is a beautiful blend of strawberry, pepper and leather notes, while the latter is much brighter, with more acidity and less pepper notes. Hard to choose a favorite, they were both excellent!

Had them with some calico cheese and wine lees cookies I got when visiting some wineries in Nagano last week.

PixelfedWine (@wine@pixelfed.social)2021 Miro Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Sonoma County, California Pine Mountain - Cloverdale Peak $52* / 91 14.7% ABV Decanted for just shy of three hours. Served at 65º F / 18.3º C. Well-defined legs. Opaque deep ruby with a medium pink rim. Initial nose of baking spice which recedes, replaced by black cherry, menthol and raspberry. Dry, bold, full-bodied. Smooth. Medium acidity. Grippy, medium-plus tannins. Blackberry on the palate with baking spice, graphite and oak. Some baking spice / black pepper on the long finish along with more graphite and wet gravel. This wine grew on me as I made my way through the first glass. Perhaps better at 68-70º? Also, there’d been some question as to potential damage as the wine was shipped during very hot weather. Fortunately, I don’t think that was a factor. Had second glass with veggie shepherd’s pie, blackened green beans and frittatas. The wine went fine with the pie and frittatas, fought a little with the spicy green beans. Served in the Riedel Extreme Cabernet glasses. Drinking window is the next ten years. *price on winery website #wine #wineReview #california #cabernetSauvignon

PixelfedWine (@wine@pixelfed.social)2019 Barons de Rothschild Lafite Carménère Los Vascos Cromas Gran Reserva Valle de Colchagua, Chile $18.99 / 91 30+ minute decant. Served at 64 F / XX C, though it’s 75 in the room here on a hot day. Leggy, 14.5%. An opaque deep purple. Blueberry aromas followed by some raspberry and plum, then blackberry. Thyme and oregano and some floral, rose-like scents as well. Spicy and herbal on the palate. Blackberry, bell pepper, black pepper. Medium body, semi-bold. Medium plus acidity, soft velvety tannins. Some leather on the long finish. I like how its spice and herbal characteristics play with the black fruit. Pretty well-balanced, smooth, juicy and very tasty! Had with sautéed mushrooms on a bed of fresh spinach, spaghetti with veggie ground beef, garlic, Italian sausage seasoning and porcini mushroom powder. Also gnocchi with garbanzo beans, sautéed brocolini. The wine went well with the mushrooms. The wine went well with the mushroom salad, gnocchi and brocolini, and seemed to fight the flavorful spaghetti a bit. Will absolutely buy again. Good candidate for a ‘daily’ drinker. A revelation. Must try more Carménère. #wine #wineReview #chile

Schiava is a chillable, red wine from northern Italy that sommeliers can’t stop serving, Jillian Dara writes for Food&Wine. The “versatile, light- to medium-bodied dry red wine with juicy fruit, fine tannins, and an acidic backbone” is experiencing a renaissance both in its native province of Alto Adige and the United States. It also has a relatively low alcohol level (12% ABV), so it just might be the one to order when a single bottle won't do. Read more: flip.it/uPaY2q
