Continues to please, 4th year in a row where we’ve enjoyed this wine at the vineyard with a Margherita pizza. 🍕 🍷 Delicious with notes of strawberry, watermelon and citrus. Recommend both the wine and a summer time visit to Ex Nihilo and Chaos Bistro in Lake Country, Okanagan. — 8 months ago

The 2016 La Conseillante is a benchmark wine for the estate, perhaps the first where winemaker Marielle Cazaux really made her mark. It has a divine bouquet that halts you in your tracks with its purity. Almost Burgundian in style, black fruit intermixes with blue, just a background scent of incense - less vanillary than before. The palate is marked by svelte tannins, cashmere in texture with just a trace of white pepper. The finish has a welcome sense of edginess with hints of graphite on the aftertaste. It's just the opening chapter in what will be an awesome Pomerol. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

The 2010 Montrose is one of the highlights of the Icons of Bordeaux dinner. It has a show-stopper nose with powerful, intense, mineral-rich black fruit, becoming quite floral with aeration. Potpourri hints complement tobacco notes. The palate is fresh, vibrant and weighty, yet paradoxically, it has wonderful finesse. There is a symmetry about this Montrose, coupled with a tremendous length that leaves you wanting more. Brilliant. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

One encounter with an ex-château bottle suggested that the 1966 Lynch-Bages is not to be overlooked. Deep in color, it has a tempting nose that unfolds gradually in the glass, graphite and cedar commingling with crushed stone and red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry, very cedary with touches of desiccated orange peel. It's a bit conservative on the finish, though that is a leitmotif of the 1966 vintage. Well-preserved bottles should still be giving pleasure. Tasted at the Lynch Bages vertical. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2023) — 2 years ago

2020 NIGHT
43% Mero, 19% Molbec, 14% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon & 11% Petit Verdot
After 19 months in French oak, this Bordeaux-style red wine boasts aromas of plum, blueberry, blackberry, and cassis. The palate shows perfectly balanced flavours of haskap berry, blueberry, vanila, fresh ground espresso, and a touch of eucalyptus. The silky tannin finish is as long as warm okanogan nights — 7 months ago

Lush green herb/fruit aromas: lemongrass, key lime, chives. Good viscosity on palate, delicious acidity, more rounded finish. Excellent #montereycounty #sauvignonblanc . — 2 years ago
