Delicious, bright, great depth of flavor. Tasted beautifully with a loaded hummus (fresh cucumbers, peppers, olive oil) and heavier cheese and fatty meats. — 2 days ago

Viognier with a Vibe. This wine is basically a peachy daydream in a glass. It kicks off with a burst of freshness and acidity that’s unusually lively for a Viognier, like it had a double espresso before showing up. Think white fleshy peach doing yoga in a field of jasmine and chamomile, aromatic, but not the kind that slaps you in the face with a bouquet. Just enough to make you feel fancy.
Then comes the minerality: it starts with a whisper on the nose and ends with a full-on salty surprise mic drop on your palate. Like licking a rock at Hanlon's Point (but in a good way, really). Citrus? Oh yes. Lemon juice, lemon zest, maybe even lemon doing cartwheels. And a cameo from nectarine just to keep things juicy.
It’s got drive, it’s got energy, and it’s got texture. Like a wine that knows how to dance and write a killer short story. That light bitterness at the back? It’s the plot twist that keeps you turning the page… or, in this case, cracking another bottle. — 7 months ago

A pale tawny cherry red in colour. A monopole (lots of Monopoles in Volnay) This from only 1.5 acres. Sappy, but overall aromas are subdued. The palate is subtle, restrained and overall delicate but has wonderful balance and the ideal accompaniment to Roast Duck Legs. Makes the most of its terroir in Volnay aided by the winemaking of Benjamin Leroux. After a few hours in decanter that light to medium bodied sappy palate remains. Certainly right to drink this now I believe. — a year ago

Almost dessert-like with a rich, sweet, pear and honey finish. — 5 months ago

Cool simple bottle and label. A screw-top with class. Color is golden straw. Aromas of lemons and honey. Hint of freshly scrubbed flagstone patios. Flavors are lemon water, honeydew melon and jasmine tea. This is like all the good things in non-buttery Chardonnay mixed with the minerality and zing of Sauv Blanc. It’s fuller, denser and more elegant than most CA Chenin Blanc I’ve had. It’s also a white that seems to age nicely. If I could find it somewhere around here, it would join the short list for go to whites. — 5 months ago

I have FINALLY tried wine from the rare Humange Rouge grape, grown deep in the Swiss Alps, and it did not disappoint.

Black cherry and Cranberry to start before settling into a herbal and lightly mineral finish. The way it twists from one into the other is beautiful. — 7 months ago

The Syrah adds such great mid palatte to the wine. Not enough cab/Syrah blends. — 3 years ago
