St. Supéry Elu 2014

Posted on November 10, 2018 by myredwineguys

A fantastic wine from one of my favorite NAPA wineries, St. Supéry.  If you have been reading our blogs, then you may remember on one of our field trips to NAPA we talked about St. Supéry.  As a member of their wine club, I was given an option of various wines to order for my bi-monthly shipment.  When I saw the Elu I decided to order 2 Elu’s instead of the Cabernet Franc that they were going to send.  And boy am I glad I did.  Not to say the Cabernet Franc isn’t good, it is very good, I was just looking for a more jammy dark berry rich wine for my wife.  This wine is good on it’s own as well as paired with almost any type of food.  We enjoyed this wine at one of our favorite Italian restaurants with our wives.   In fact Jim and I didn’t really get much as the wives commandeered the bottle.  It’s rich plum and berry notes along with its long finish make for the perfect sipping experience.  I give this wine 5 glasses.  

About myredwineguys

My red wine guys, Jim and Rich, have been drinking and comparing red wines together for the last 10 years. We drink reds exclusively (except for champagne during New Year’s Eve celebration's or special occasions). In our search to find the best red wine for the buck, we are constantly buying and drinking a variety of reds. Frequently, we see many of our favorite reds increase in price (making them impractical to buy and consume with the dismal economy). This motivates us to try and compare lesser known reds from a variety of wineries. We are constantly telling our friends where to buy and save on these great reds. One weekend over a bottle of red wine (of course), we decided to share our recommendations with the world via a blog (with the support of our wives who really think this is another way for us to drink more red wine). We are going to be making road trips up the coast and sharing our opinions on some great California Reds. Jim is a retired Navy Senior Chief now working as a Navy Technical Rep. His world travels have given him the opportunity to taste wines on different continents. He finds himself often comparing them to his favorite region – Napa Valley’s Oakville/Rutherford districts that produce some of the world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon's. Richard is a musician who grew up in Santa Maria with a family rich with red wine tradition. According to the family legends, his grandfather used to make wine out of grapefruit when grapes were not available. He grew up drinking and making wine with his father and other Italian families in the central coast, long before there were grape vines in the area. In fact, the reason his family located to California was to make wine! Thank you for visiting our site! We hope you enjoy a glass of exceptional red wine soon!
