Winemaker Notes
Sticking to their concept of blending Zin with Bordeaux varietals, Coupe de Foudre used Cabernet Sauvignon to provide the heavy lifting of the backbone of this wine. Zinfandel’s bright aromatic and fresh preserve palate integrate well with the heartier cassis like Cabernet characters. Grenache really provides the spicy element on this 2018.
Blend: 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Zinfandel, 21% Grenache

James Suckling
Lots of plums and currants with chocolate, walnut and vanilla character. It’s medium-bodied with round, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little tight at the end. Better after 2022.

Starting with the 2018 Les Bouquinistes, this beautiful field blend reveals a ruby/purple color to go with an up-front, complex bouquet of red and black fruits, spring flowers, candied orange, and cedar pencil. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rounded, charming, supple mouthfeel, terrific overall balance, and a great finish, all making for an already delicious red blend from Napa that I would be happy to drink any time over the coming 5-7 years, if not upwards of a decade.
