TN: 2004 RN Estate Vineyard Cuvée des Trois Cepages

WINE TALK
1

Nicely done effort by Roger Nicolas and his huge dog up in Paso.

Nice Bord blend; drank it over 2 nites…Cab dominates, not surprisingly (66%, along with CF and and Merlot, all estate grown), ripe, nicely complex, whcih does not detract from my view that this vintage is made for early consumption (3rd and 4th leaf vines, IIRC). The tannins are mild. Great at cellar temp with a mid-week steak on the BBQ. (88 pts.)

thanks for the note Stu…I’ve not had this wine, but have enjoyed his others, especially the Cuvee des Artistes and the Fiddlestix pinot…he’s definitely a producer that people should be looking out for
