A co-fermented blend of 72% Syrah, 21% old vine Grenache, and a solid chunk of Viognier, the 2018 Chloe reveals a dense purple color as well as a flawless bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, crushed stone, spring flowers, and licorice. Full-bodied, deep, rich, and structured, it’s a blockbuster beauty that offers incredible elegance paired with power. As with most of these 2018s from l’Aventure, the cellar is going to be your friend.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cuvée Chloe is a blend of co-fermented Syrah (72%), Grenache (21%) and Viognier (7%), aged in 60% new French oak, 20% one-year-old French oak and 20% amphora. Vibrant ruby-purple, it has a gorgeous perfume of pure violet, tar, cassis and crushed blue fruits with notes of bitter chocolate and mint. The palate is full-bodied, firmly framed and packed with perfumed fruits, and it finishes with great freshness to carry the lingering floral notes. Give it another 3-5 years in bottle. 300 cases were made.

Decanter

Highly aromatic, the fragrance spirals right through the palate, full of savoury cut herbs and underbrush. This feels hot and dry and crackling with intensity, burnt rosemary and thyme alongside the raspberry fruits, like a pumped up Rhône on steroids. No question that there is focus and personality here, although hard to ignore the heat through the finish.
