Valentines...Chocolate, Wine...hmmmm.


We were hanging out in New York and this message pops up on
Amber's blackberry about our 2004 Intuition. Seemed totally appropriate for Valentine's Day! Geneveyln, thank you for the smiles.

Happy Valentines! XOXO,



Here's the link to Vinolin or you can check out Genevelyn's blog site!

04 Bergevin Lane Intuition Columbia Valley

"Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and candy here" Marcy Playground

Technical Data: (from Bergevin Lane website)
Variety: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc
Vineyards: Alder Ridge, Stone Tree Vineyards
Oak: Aged in 100% French Oak for 18 months
Alcohol: 14.2%
Cases produced: 175


This Washington State blend is simply sexy, with candy-like cherry, vanilla and coffee flavors,balanced by a more complicated long, spicy, silky solo in the middle of the glass. It's a one-hit wonder wine, not because Bergevin Lane only makes one good wine, but because it stays with one persistently, like a well-constructed song that is haunting sometimes, but at others, forgettable in the world of greats. I've thought of Bergevin Lane Intuition a lot lately while humming that Marcy Playground song.

Hi Wine Girl-
Thanks for the vote, I am honored, and also glad to see a winemaker's blog up and running,especially when the winemaker brews magic like the Intuition. I've linked to your blog and am putting you guys on my blogroll.
Cin-Cin,
