Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Built more on acid than on tannin, this is a light-bodied, easy-to-drink Syrah that shows all of the requisite varietal characteristics: smoke, meat and pepper alongside crisp red berry flavors. Nicely complex; an intellectual wine rather than a hedonistic one.

Qupé Syrah - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Such a pretty nose, with berry, earth, chocolate, plum and blueberry notes. Young and tight now, but you’ll love the intense fruit and spice as well as the complexity and balance. Give it a few years and enjoy with grilled meat.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Not another cookie-cutter Chardonnay, this wine emphasizes citrus and mineral notes. Some herb or floral aromas add complexity. On the lean side; it’s piquant, clean and crisp.

Appealing aromas of ripe apples, honey, spice and toast. Round and rich feel on the palate, with delicious apple flavors accented by earth and mineral notes. Complex, toasty finish. Solid and delicious.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
You want big Chardonnay, here it is, from a famous vineyard. A monster wine that knocks you out with flashy oak, peach, citrus and tropical fruit aromas that you can smell forever. Huge and extracted on the palate. Ultrafine tannins and wonderfully etched acidity complete the balanced, flavorsome package.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A lovely Chardonnay, softly creamy and lilting, with opulent flavors of pineapples, sweet lemon custard, buttered toast, vanilla, honey and smoke. Great with lobster.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
True to winemaker Bob Lindquist’s style, this blended Syrah relies more on complexity and spice to win tasters’ hearts than fruit and raw power. Smoky, meaty and peppery notes rest on a lean structure, finishing with a flourish of bright cherry flavor.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lots to admire in this wine, but it’s not without its challenges. Likeable is the restrained alcohol and pleasant, silky texture that prevents heaviness. Flavorwise, there’s a green, bell pepper streak to the riper cherries and black raspberries.

Qupé Grenache - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Bob Lindquist’s 1999 offering displays a lovely opening of tropical fruit and vanilla custard beneath a smoky veil. The palate’s understated nectarine, pear, pineapple flavors are bolstered by firm but not sharp acidity. The mouthfeel is crisp; the wine’s fine structure shows through the tangy, nut-pepper finish. Already impressive, but warrants cellaring for two or three years. Top Value.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Displays the richness that Qupe Chards always show, with pineapple custard, lemondrop candy, vanilla and buttered toast flavors. Also shows a pleasingly firm touch of minerals. Exotic and compelling, and well worth the price.
