The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — a month ago

This wine is crisp and salty on the nose along with notes of lime and lime zest. Light, crisp and juicy on the palate with big acidity. Juicy flavors of lemon, lime, grapefruit and peach lead to salty minerality and bright, zesty acidity. The finish lingers with drying minerality and crisp citrus. A delicious wine. — a month ago

A lush nose of peach and melon along with a touch of dried herbs. The wine is full bodied on the palate with well integrated alcohol and bright, rounded acidity. Creamy flavors of almond, melon, green apple fill the palate and the crisp acidity and fruit linger on the palate. A wonderful wine list find! — 2 months ago

A wine that could not be in a better spot right now. Decanted at opening. Plush, soft aromas of black berries and plus just a touch of spice. On the palate this wine is juicy and soft, with velvety tannins and gorgeous acidity. Flavors of black plums and raspberries fill the glass around with wonderful spice box notes and just a kiss of oak. The finish seems to last forever with lingering spice and fruit notes. A truly wonderful wine. — 3 months ago

An expressive and bright nose with notes of black fruits, cracked black pepper, game and leather. The palate is juicy but structured with great acidity and firm tannins. Spicy flavors of fig and plum lead to notes of menthol, dried herbs, oak and white pepper. The finish is extremely long with fresh acidity and a nice finishing touch of fruit. A beautiful wine that pairs fantastically with Boeuf Bourguignon. — a month ago

A very interesting and different type of Viognier from one of my favorite producers. The nose shows lush, oaky notes of peach and mango. The palate continues the oak with a creamy feel, almost along the lines of a Chardonnay. Flavors of peaches and cream mingle with soft floral notes, round acidity and a touch of vanilla. The finish shows to spice of the along with moderate acidity. — a month ago

Wow! What a rose! The nose is full of watermelon candy along with touches of red berries. The palate is bright and crisp. Juicy, fruit filled flavors of cherries, watermelon and raspberries followed by just enough acidity and a touch of stone to keep it all balanced. This fruit-forward rose is spectacular and I hope I can find more of it! — 2 months ago
