This natty Willamette Pinot is Burgundian in style and better than most. Austere and earthy this baby has enough zip to hold the finish. — 6 years ago

Really an excellent Pinot noir from Sancerre. After my wife and I took a sip we both exclaimed that we need to start buying more Sancerre rouge - just a great quality / price ratio, especially for Pinot noir. This is ruby red, with a dusty cherry nose. A touch restrained on the palate with lots of minerality coming through - great cherry notes on the palate, long finish. Really nice. — 7 years ago

Dark Ruby translucent, full bodied with dark red fruits, cherries and tobacco, tannins are subdued, could do with some maturing — a month ago

Reticent nose, fine tannins, still very primary, very enjoyable but better to wait another 10 years for this. — 5 years ago

It was... ok. Normally I don’t crave Sancerre and this one was pretty by the book. Lemon peel and lemon pith (finish was a little bitter), straw yellow in the glass with light body. — 7 years ago

Mineral, faint blue fruits, big structure, this Julienas (from the same producer as the 2017 Bottiere I just posted on) strikes me as a very different style (I would never have guessed the same producer, without looking at the back labels), this is leaner and will need some further aging to really shine!! — 4 months ago

Thought this was really nice for the price. Went great with our Goat Cheese Fennel Sausage pizza on the smoker. A bit of cherry, smokey, and tar on the nose. Sour Cherry and stewed fruit on the bud. Nice finish. — 3 years ago

Extremely enjoyable. Very expressive and deeply characterful on the nose and palate. The fruit leans to very ripe apple and pear, cut with some sweet, ripe Meyer lemons and orange blossoms. Toast, vanilla and baking spices compound the whole experience. With all that said the balance and underlying freshness keep it all together perfectly. Drink now or up to 5 or maybe more years. — 4 years ago

Wood, prune, blueberry nose. Nice thick sharp feel on tongue. Catching the Berry along with leather and wood. Would be fantastic with red meat. — 8 years ago
