Venge Vineyards Napa Valley Penny Lane Vineyard Family Reserve Sangiovese 2000

Venge Vineyards Napa Valley Penny Lane Vineyard Family Reserve Sangiovese 2000

We discovered, first tasted and purchased this wine during our winery visit and at a lunch tasting with winemaker Nils Venge as part of our Napa Valley Wine Experience 2002. In earlier blog posts I've written about that visit and previous tasting notes,  other vintage tasting notes, and Nils Venge, his work with the Sangiovese grape varietal and its history. .

As with earlier tasting notes, the 2000 Venge Vineyards Sangiovese is grown on the Venge Family Estate Penny Lane Vineyard in Oakville. Ripe and smooth for a Sangiovese, the 2000 is dark inky color but starting to show a tinge of rust and brown edges at this stage of life. Medium bodied, it still presents pretty, ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors at its core highlighted by a layer of herb and anise notes and touch of leather and tobacco. It has a flavorful lush long finish. 

RM 90 points.

Tasted with L and Sean celebrating his birthday at Angelis, our favorite neighborhood Italian trattorria.

Darioush Napa Valley Shiraz 2003

Darioush Napa Valley Shiraz 2003

Continuing recent exploration of California Napa Valley Shiraz' that began with the spectacular standard bearer Kongsgaard Napa Valley Hudson Vineyard Syrah 2007.

Rick with Olivier Bernard and
Darioush Khaledi

We discovered Darioush wines at Cress Creek Country Club.We then visited the winery and first tasted this wine during during our Napa Wine Experience 2003 winery visit and cellar tasting with winemaker Steve McDevitt. We enjoyed an elegant Darioush Winemaker dinner at Everest Restaurant in Chicago hosted by owner producer Darioush and Shaptar Khaledi celebrating their collaboration with Olivier Bernard and Domaine de Chevalier in Pesaac Leognan Bordeaux. Chef Joho prepared a special dinner featuring and complementing their wines poured by winemaker Steve McDevitt.

The magnificent Darioush Winery sitting at the bottom of Silverado Trail as you depart the town of Napa heading north into the eastern Napa Valley, is a key attraction when visiting wine region. They feature private tours and cellar tastings or there is an elegant wine bar where you can taste Darioush wines without a reservation.

This 2003 Darioush Shiraz exhibited dark purple color - medium-full bodied. Polished and complex, the pundits refer to pomegranate fruit which I admit I can't characterize. This wine has predominant black berry fruits highlighted by vanilla, a layer of sweet caramel, and tones of  spice and nut flavors- polished and smooth with a layer of lingering red fruits on a long finish.  The fruit is from the Ashley Vineyard over near Oak Knoll on the western ridge of Nape combined with Estate Vineyard fruit. This was tasted at home with L, a great companion to aged rib-eye beef tenderloin dinner with hearty cheese au-gratin potatoes and capise salad.

Liparita Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Liparita Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Interesting evidence and example showing how timing is such a vital part of a tasting experience - especially for a late life mature wine. Dark black purple color - medium-full bodied.Initially, upon opening the fruit was subdued and muted, overtaken by a leather, wood cedar warranting an 87 rating. The next evening the character changed with full floral aromatics and tastes lingering throughout, highlighted by black cherry, black berry, anise and hints of black olive tapenade with the floral lingering on the moderate tannin finish, increasing the rating to an 89

This was a great accompaniment to beef steak roast, roasted potatoes and cooked carrots.
