Från högt belägna vingårdar på berget Dentelles de Montmirail. Aromatisk. Ganska lätt i kroppen med en sval känsla. Mörka bär, rosblad, bacon, blodgrape, garrigue. Avslutet är rökigt med en mineral sensation. Ofiltrerad och charmigt lättrustik. — 4 years ago

Viognier, from cool and high-altitude reaches of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Asian pear, acacia and just enough tartness and pucker to let you know this isn’t bruised, hot-climate, picked-too-late stuff. Impeccably balanced, long, graceful. I’d put this into a northern Rhône tasting anytime. #domainesaintamant #rhône #viognier — 6 years ago

9.0

Quite intriguing, not a style of winemaking I reach for often, but an example of it done well. Minimal extraction and no SO2 with the allure and charm this has can be quite difficult. It’s a little skanky upon first opening, but after a night in the bottle it cleaned up considerably, the brett and VA melted into the wine a little more and its muddled melange of red fruit and earth became apparent. Crushed rainer cherry, decaying strawberries, rhubarb compote, white pepper, sweaty brett. I like blurring the lines between light red and rosé, and the wine worked well with roast chicken w/ spices and poblano mashers night one and fared well with tomato/avocado salad and grilled sardines the next night. That versatility at the table was impressive. — 4 years ago

Like Lirac and chateauneuf du pape, smooth with some sweetness to it a little bit of tannins on the finish. — 7 years ago
