Quite perky 2022. Not modern style, much more acidity than expected. Rich robust dark fruit. Tight tannins. Really nice. — a month ago
Super charming NV cinsault with all that purply fruit and plumminess. Glou glou for sure. Not complex but surely doesn’t need to be. You’ll come back soon for another sip. — a month ago
Same wine I tasted 2.5 years ago. Yea, old me. It did need some time and now it’s singing. Damn. I may be convinced. Chocolate, some caramel flavors and oak presence in a good way. Okay. I’m convinced. 2018 — 12 days ago
Tart cherry is right. The earthiness here is a strong suit. Good balance of acidity and tannins. This is pretty great wine. Pairs great with food. Only 13° which is nice. 2021 — a month ago
2016. Balances fruit tannins and acidity. Soft tannins because of the age. Ripe. — 2 months ago
Wow. This is really good. Rich and powerful. Lemon and other citrus. Long finish. Exquisite. — 18 days ago
Straw. Sherry esque. Beautiful. Love this. 2017 — 23 days ago
Nice balance of acidity and fruit for a 16 year old wine. 2010. In fact it’s pretty fantastic. A bit of stewed apricots d hints of green apple. The tertiary elements are charming as heck. Go team! — a month ago
2023. Fairly robust Pinot. Classic Pinot notes with some real grip. Tasty but not particularly complex. Drinkable. — 2 months ago

Quite pretty fruit. Eminently drinkable with solid tannins which will pair well with my homemade chicken soup. Long finish. Tart acidity. Really quite good. 2018 and I want more. — 4 days ago
