No wine tonight....just a cold can of this. — 11 years ago
Has about ten more years on it.....probably more. Loads of lime and super tart Granny Smith fruit. Some of that Chenin straw as well as waifs of chamomile, all underlined by a straight forward, cut through anything, minerality. A very nice, wine indeed. — 11 years ago
Il fait pretty damn awesome! Dark rich berry fruit with pine and a pure mineral edge. Perfect wine for lazy Sunday evening. — 11 years ago
Very enjoyable fun wine. Dried cranberry nose, loads of upfront sour cherry fruit. Had it with pizza but it's a great wine by itself as well. — 11 years ago
Mostly grass, ripe apples and pure sauv blanc flavors, little bit of chard in their too, if anything it fattened up the palate ever so slightly. Such a direct wine. Went perfect with grilled veg quesadillas. — 11 years ago
Diesel and apricot on the nose, apple juice flavors, lots of peach....and unsure if it's completely dry. Overall a nice little tipple — 11 years ago
I am very impressed by this wine. First tasted a few weeks after bottling and early assumptions were correct....needed more time in bottle. Could last another 4-5 years. Lemon sherbet and hints of macadamia on the nose. But tastes of apricot and lime with healthy dose of chalk-like minerality....an amazing first attempt at Albariño from winemaker Chris King — 11 years ago

I am so impressed with this wine. Despite it being the youngest of La Crau, the vines are still older than 20 years. What to say really....this wine is sublime. Soft notes of red berries but the palate is ripe blue and black berries. Almost like grabbing a handful of berries out of a bowl and devouring them. Cloves as well then there's also an amazing granite like minerality to it while the finish lasts an eternity, similar to bell chime slow resonating out, as I said....sublime and this is only Brunier's second wine from the vineyard. — 11 years ago
