Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral, honey and mineral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with citrus and floral wrapped in a nutty spice. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, spice and savory citrus character. 230 cases, good now! — a day ago

2017 vintage: not a laser-cutter precision wine, more of a rich unctuous expression of burgundy. Very approachable, a gate-way wine. — 2 years ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of plum, cigar box and baking spices - strong, powerful aromas on this bad boy. Dark cherry, espresso and oaky finish. Solid!

I think I like Washington Dolcetto more than Italian Dolcetto. Killer wine for the money. — 2 years ago

Outstanding. Deep golden color with few bubbles. This just screams excellence right off the bat. The nose is quite floral and very expressive. There’s some roasted nuts and buttered brioche notes to go with the grapefruit and cherries. Mint and smoke, vanilla and wet stones. Just plain gorgeous.

Vinous and deep and it just keeps going and going. 100% Pinot Noir from the Aube with no dosage and that shows immediately. Sharp and spunky with more than zippy acidity. I’m in love a little bit. Impeccable balance and structure here. Nothing cookie cutter, this is pure excitement in your glass. Very artisanal and elegant with so much power.

The attack is full of so much tension and personality. Very dry but effortlessly light and lithe. So youthful but that’s just fine. The minerality and texture of this champagne is just superb. Maybe this isn’t for everyone but it’s tailor made for me. — 3 years ago

Crisp acidity and not too sweet. Notes of strawberry and raspberry with hints of rosemary and thyme to cut the sweetness. Pairs well with BBQ, chicken wings, or Greek salad. — 4 years ago
