Staying at Casa Hatcher has been good in many ways -- Steve has a topnotch wine collection, and feels the need to share it. The past four days we've had more wine than I know what to do with ... and all of it unequivocally great.
Domaine de l'Esperouse Reserve 2004 Couteaux du Tricastin
A focused little beauty.
Vina von Siebenthal Carmenere 2006 Reserva Valle de Aconcagua
Holy moley! This is one of the small scale wineries becoming more common in Chile. Aconcagua is a cooler region and produces more delicate reds. Rich, luscious and beautiful. Smoky strawberries and chocolate. Aweswome.
San Vicente Rioja Tempranillo 2000
Normally I'm not a cork sniffer but this one had some mold on it so I decided to give it a whiff. Instantly I thought Bourdeaux. This wine is a stunner, and has aged very well. Tastes like putting a big old piece of aged leather in your mouth and sucking on it. Incredible!
