Château Pontet-Canet Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) 2014 (750ml) Contra CostaWinemaker Notes Vibrant and deep in color. The nose is a fusion of red and black berries, graphite and spices. The palate's structure is particularly dense and long with chiseled tannins of incredible precision. Professional Ratings 98James Suckling A stunning wine for this vintage although its still a bit shy on the nose (more spice than fruit showing than now). Theres wet earth, too, but on the palate its bursting with ripe yet subtle flavors. Very

indeed this could aptly be described as a wine that delivers power without weight

depending on how the fermentation process is developing and the wine samples tasted

layered-up and building their defences without imposing too heavily on the succulent black fruits

A tremendous value in Montalcino reds

The gently rolling hills of Lodi are exposed to the high heat of the afternoon sun

Peter Conradi had originally planted the vineyards to Zinfandel and Syrah

and taboule

combined with delicate notes of toasty oak and creamy minerality
