Absolutely phenomenal. Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and honeysuckle without a single note of traditional oaky butteriness. — 7 months ago

Waitrose. Delightful English white. Melon and peach, grassy and zesty freshness to it, slight acidity to cut through things but without lingering. — 5 years ago

9.1

Dark ruby color, nose with accents of "Blue Stones" rather black cherry, accompanied by toasted melted notes of aging. The third dimension is driven by evolution and its many very Burgundian nuances (roasting, undergrowth, pot-pourri). Semi-light body although quite intense and concentrated, The finish is of a beautiful length, carried by fleshy and coated aging tannins.

Robe rubis sombre, nez aux accents de « Pierres Bleues » plutôt cerise noires, griotte, accompagné des notes toastées de fût fondues. La troisième dimension est portée par l’évolution et ses nombreuses nuances très bourguignonnes (torréfaction, sous-bois, pot-pourri). Corps demi-léger quoique assez intense et concentré, La finale est d’une belle longueur, portée par des tanins d’élevages charnus et enrobés. — 2 years 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. — 10 months ago
