Absolutely phenomenal. Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and honeysuckle without a single note of traditional oaky butteriness. — 6 months ago

Have not had 100% Pinot Meunier that was not from Champagne and in bubble form. This is from Napa/Carneros.
Still young and would prefer to have this in 3-5 yrs.
The palate is dark fruits. Not quite Santa Rita Hills extraction but more than most Northern California.
It is still a bit angular. Blackberries, black raspberries, black plum w/ heavy skin, dark cherries, plum and some poached strawberries. Grainy limestone, dry stone, dark top soil, lots dark spice, cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg, some pepper, dry tobacco, new leather, grilled meats, dry tumble weed, dry, red, dark flowers with violets, fresh acidity and a balanced, highly structured/tensioned, polished finish that lasts 90 seconds.
Many would call CDP on this blind. — 9 months ago

Vintage 2022 | Curious combination of grapes bacchus, müller thurgau, silvaner and scheurebe from Franken Germany. But it works wonderful. A very consistent smell and taste with minerals, flint and a hint of sulfur. Bonedry and vibrant. Paired beautiful with several preparations of tomatoes and a crab croquette. At Jus en Pepper in Utrecht. — 4 months ago
Sharpness has toned down since previous years. A much more mellow flavour — 2 years ago
