We wrapped up our trip at Provence Vineyards. To help keep costs down
for the three of us out wine tasting, I tried to visit the places where I am a
wine club member and the tasting fee is waived. Since Provenance allows
its wine club members to build their own flights of wine, I was able to share
my tastes with my companion and try more wines than if I had been there
alone. Another reason I wanted to visit Provenance was to check out their
Memorial Day Cellar Sale. (By the time we arrived, they had sold out of
the wine that I had been interested in ... It must have been good.)
We shared all of our pours, and I was able to taste the following wines:
2012 Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc
2011 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
2010 Malbec
2009 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
2009 Oakville TK2 Cabernet Sauvignon
2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (my favorite)
2007 Three Palms Merlot
Finally, I was treated to a fascinating vertical of Hewitt Cabernet
Sauvignon: 2004, 2007, and 2009. The
2007 remains my favorite of the wines I tried today, though my overall favorite
is the 2002 vintage.
A full review was written already about
Provenance Vineyards during my visit on February 8th, 2012.
