The 1989 vintage was excellent for the region. Typical blend, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. 75cl bottle. ABv 12. 5% Bottle condition, capsule good,

Gewürztraminer 75cl bottle

It was called RWT

A lovely vintage now in its drinking window

but a little faded

Serve with Mediterranean tonic and garnish with a twist of orange or a sprig of mint

but balanced wines

he soon built a strong reputation and his wines considered Californian Cult Classics

but a blend and so no vintage year

but during the 1980's bottles for the domestic market were labeled Domaine de

All in all this is a very nice showing and a lovely old bottle

although not among the best from this case
