La Terrasse Des Oliviers
Pierre Gonon
"Les Oliviers" Saint-Joseph Marsanne-Roussanne Blend 2016
Stunning. Marzipan, smoke, cheese rind, lemon, almond. Very clean and chiseled but with ample roundness on the finish. Should continue to evolve for some time — 5 months ago

Domaine La Terrasse d'Elise
Enclos Hérault Mourvedre 2015
Nice red ruby color, dried prune, black pepper, dried tomatoes, very smooth attack, then structured and a very fresh finish. Great balance. Top Mourvèdre ! — 4 years ago
Domaine les Pallières
Terrasse du Diable Gigondas Red Rhône Blend 2012
In a sweet spot and better than expected 10 years on at this degree of alcohol. Great w rare New Yorks — 3 months ago
Domaine du Clos des Fées (Hervé Bizeul)
Un Faune avec son fifre sous les oliviers sauvages Vin de Pays des Pyrénees-Orientales Cabernet Franc 2015
Creamy texture. Intense flavor.
Balanced. — a year ago
René-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo
St. Joseph Blanc White Rhone Blend 2013
This was a real surprise. Pale gold in the glass, quince paste, tangerine, floral, a touch nutty, but with real acidic verve—not even remotely tired or flabby. Not quite on the level of Gonon Oliviers but really fantastic. Maybe I should rethink my biases re: rhone whites. Excellent with cast iron chicken with olives and artichokes — 3 years ago
