A well done old world styled nz Chardonnay. Fresh fruited, some leesy notes, a small oak hint. All pretty balanced and with a medium long finish. Critics: ‘as good as Puligny or even better’ were a bit high on own supply I guess but this is very nice and a perfect alternative for Bourgogne blanc. — 10 months ago
fortunately recently found a small supply for $55/b, less than release price, and it’s even more delicious due to that price. Just scrumptious crunchy bright yellow orchard fruit and citrus, not at all oxidative or yeasty, just lovely, fresh, and delicious. This is real bright and fresh. The 2011 wasn’t at this level, 96 was/is stupendous, and I’m hooked. I don’t know who Angeline is but I love her very much. — 2 years ago
Savored the last bottle from our November 2019 visit. Ready to replenish our supply of this bright, luxurious Rosso. Wishing a visit was again in our future but it is looking less bright #covid19quarantine — 4 years ago
Lovely white. Enjoying at the Forage in Vancouver. — 5 years ago
Medium-dark clear ruby color; nose of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries, garden spices, anise; fairly high alcohol and acid, dry, small firm tannins, long elegant finish in a very typical BdM style. I went all-in on the -15s and -16th so my supply of -14s is limited. This one a winner! 🥇 — 2 years ago
This dark wine - opaque, in fact - has a powerful nose. It packs a perfumed aroma package consisting of dark fruit - like blackberries - and only a limited supply of the earthiness which I often find in a Paso Robles Cab. There is a savory streak, to be sure, and it throws leather, tar and a pine forest into the nose. The chalky aspect of the Paso dirt comes through on the palate, which is heavily influenced by the earth and the two years spent in barrels. — 3 years ago

So plummy Red fruit finish. Enjoyed on an 85 degree day drinking slightly chilled — 9 months ago
