Descriptions humbly submitted by the winemaker

 

2006 Viognier - SOLD OUT - To the eye, an alloy of bronze & gold. Then to the nose: the essence of orange zest, yellow-ripe bartlett pear & quince, with just a trace of cumin & camphor from some hidden place on the upper shelf. To the tongue, the distinct flavor of marzipan laced with rose petal, apricot & peach.Serving the Viognier: As is the case with all Le Cuvier white wines, this gold-tone wine is fundamentally a red wine, so please don't chill her any more than you would a fine red. At its abundant best when room-temperature cool.

Retail Bottle Price: $45. Elliptical Society: $36

2006 L'Enfant du Pape -SOLD OUT - Meaty, succulent & mouth watering…an appealing nose of chocolate-infused cherries, mole, roasted ancho chili, rosemary & with just a lusty touch of the kind of happy, earthy sweat one expects from an enfante du Pape. A Chateauneuf-du-Pape style blend of 27% Mourvedre, 37% Grenache, and 32.5% Syrah, & 3.5% Viognier.

Gold Label Pentimento – SOLD OUT - A hotrod, candy-apple red with dry plum, ambrosia melon, ripe Bing cherry & pomegranate, chocolate, violet & rose blossom strewn across wrinkled sheets. But, too, a beast in leather, the tantalizing hot juice from rare meat, with a smooth, silky, firm finish. Our proprietary blend, a marriage of youth & age, with various amounts of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, bitty touches of Zinfandel, Sangiovese, and L'Enfant du Pape - all from the 2004 to 2006 vintages - topped with a dollop of older Pentimento including wine going back to the 1998 vintage.

2006 Syrah – SOLD OUT - carmine, like pomegranate jewels in your glass. Lustrous ollallieberry with a nose of violet blossoms, lilac, leather, & a cigar smoldering in the briars. Rosemary, pitch, clove & cinnamon bind the whole into a firm, full-bodied structure fraught with pleasure.
