A proud hardliner as the artwork on the front label suggests, which more often than not, has proven to be a red flag for what’s to come in the bottle. Fortunately, this was superb and the WOTN for me. Salty, fresh, and juicy. Needed some time to open up to reveal notes of pear, pineapple, candied ginger, and hints of almond meal. Dangerously drinkable. — 2 years ago
The 2021 Pinot Noir Jerome Reserve mixes crushed raspberries and stone with hints of sage and rosemary. It's sweetly spiced with vividly ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity that maintains energy throughout. Medium in length, this leaves a staining of primary concentration and a pleasantly bitter twang, finishing lightly structured. (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2024)

Earthy is characteristic of this Pinot. Then fruity like a typical Pinot. Really interesting Pinot from burgundy. — a year ago
Nice Provence rose.
From the label:
COTES DE PROVENCE ROSE
Owned by the Quiot family from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the 200 acre estate lies at the foot of Mont Sainte Victoire near Aix-en-Provence. Its winemaking facilities have been completely renewed over the past 3 years.
This is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre.
Special efforts are made to preserve freshness and fruit by the use of CO2 gas to exclude oxygen during the harvest. This is a fresh rosé with a pretty salmon-pink color, elegant flavors of red berries, mineral notes and a clean finish. Serve this wine lightly chilled. Very nice on its own, it goes well with most dishes, specially sushi, salads, pizza and mild cheeses. — 2 years ago
So smooth; all the GSM flavors, including cherry and some dark fruit. Not too earthy, which some might not like. — 5 months ago
This was so damn good. Perfectly developed yellow fruit and a striking acidity. — a year ago
Nice wine at its prime drinking window (for my personal taste for aged wines). Nose of autumnal forest floor and earth, minerals and crushed mature berries with lively mouth feel and texture, perhaps just a bit one dimensional in a fading finish but an excellent GL 24 value back then especially given the current $ in the 50s. — 4 years ago
