Light bodied with warm undertones. — a year ago

Lime, chamomile, white flowers on the nose, delicate white tea notes but also extremely extroverted. Mellow acid, green apple, and just a tiny hint of oak. Very mellow showing for this area and producer given the age. 13.5% — 4 years ago
I frankly don’t know how we had this bottle in storage but I saw it and decided to pull it and am glad that I did! Really a lovely premier cru burg. Quite a nice soft fruit and earth character. Maybe a notch less aromatically expressive than one would want but the seamlessness and depth on the palate makes up for it. Opened a few hours ahead of time but no decant and showed very nicely. Delicious. — 2 months ago

Outstanding example of Cali Pinot. Even more so since this is 2012 vintage. Overripe cherries and coffee notes explode on the nose. The palate displays crunchy black fruits along with syrop de cassis. Superb grainy tannins combine with bright acidity. A reference point in Sonoma/Cali.

Very good for the price - probably worth more — 5 years ago
My buddy @Nathaniel DiMaggio turned me onto this producer. The 15s are lights out. Not from an exceptional vineyard but definitely 1er cru in name and quality. Essential oil on the nose with lemon, quince and super green lime. Acacia flowers as well. Textured but not rich. Mineral but not angular. Just really really nice and worth seeking out — 6 years ago

Good gosh… this is stunning! Ethereal and laser focused. Brioche and almonds, peaches and dirt on the nose. Consistent representation on the palate. Sublime texture and weight. This is a nosebleed by the glass at Nougatine 😕
$85 on the market. For the loot, it’s a buy for sure. — 3 years ago
