Great wine! Little bit of spice, perfect with red sauces! — 3 years ago
Nice mixed with prosecco. Like a kir royale. — 4 years ago
First and youngest champagne of my champ/crab open house. A blast of tight, crisp minerality that almost vibrates with acidity. Such fun to sip, such a sin to drink so young. Amazing complexity, vibrant tiny mousse. A real bargain and a harbinger of the greatness of the 2012 vintage. — a year ago
A lively enticing sweet strawberry on the nose, with a pleasant cheerful attitude in the mouth. Simple, with a medium finish. Enjoyable but I just wish there was more there — 4 years ago
Surprisingly advanced compared to the 11 alongside. A more subdued nose but a denser, rounder, riper mid-palate. Notes of honey, rather intense acidity and good power and length. A whiff of sherry in the end at first (a harbinger of premox) that blows off after time. Gets better over time in the glass but I suspect this may not be a perfect bottle? — 4 years ago
Another night, another amazing wine from Thomas Rivers Brown. We ran into him at the vineyard, but luckily all he wanted to talk about was cars! Even though he is an Aston Martin fan, he just picked up this new Mercedes AMG GLE 63S, and was enjoying it thoroughly. So since we did not talk about this wonderful wine, I am plagiarizing their website for tasting notes...which are spot on. “Located just off Hwy 29, north of the town of St. Helena, lies the Tournahu Vineyard. Rocky with exceptional drainage, wines from this vineyard tend toward a mix of powerful fruit and bright acidity. Velvet-like in texture, the wine covers the entire palate in a silky mix of red & black fruit. With additional time in the glass, a creosote-like minerality appears in the mid palate as a harbinger of things to come. A thrilling wine to drink now, those with patience will be rewarded as additional layers of complexity emerge 4-5 years post vintage. A wine & vineyard worthy of our first single vineyard designate.” — 3 years ago
All around good wine that can appeal to any white drinker — 5 years ago
