My fave Oregon Pinot producer. A model of subtlety, modesty and restraint. Smooth and round. Moderately sweet with restrained acidity. Easily will cellar for 10 - 15 years. — 4 days ago

Off-the-charts value here. Very exotic presentation on the nose and palate. More bright green fruits, green bell peppers and white pepper. At $15 per, it’s a summer case buy. Short-term cellaring only in my mind. Very impressive for the loot. — 22 days ago

Good gosh… this is stunning! Ethereal and laser focused. Brioche and almonds, peaches and dirt on the nose. Consistent representation on the palate. Sublime texture and weight. This is a nosebleed by the glass at Nougatine 😕
$85 on the market. For the loot, it’s a buy for sure.

Interesting and complicated. A varietal that we rarely approach. Tropical notes on the nose and palate. It displays effervescence on the mid palate, which I find distracting. But the pineapple notes draw you in. A very sweet finale left us thinking this was somewhat of a hybrid between Sauvignon Blanc and champagne. — a month ago

Joly’s wines are spectacular! Make sure you try Clos de la Bergerie and the top wine, Clos de la Coulée de Serrant, as well. The latter uses botrytized grapes and can take significant aging. I think it beats Burgundy for the “best white” title.

Hey Byron, thanks for the insights. 24hrs on, it's calmed down (effervescence) a bit so I'll lift the score an extra point :0)

This is high up on the totem pole, and it shows on all senses. The nose is complicated and dense, which then leads into a rich variety of notes such as tobacco, cedar, coffee and cherries. While it seems to have already evolved into its drinking window, powerful tannins and good acidity provide the hallmarks of a wine that will hold its own for a long time. — 8 days ago

I'm retired, wait Ron, I thought you live in NJ, if so that's me also, as far as date? I checked my calendar I'm available anytime this year, next year and 2025. 2026 is tight though.
