Red to dark red fruits, cherry, raspberry and pomegranate, garrigue, and singed black schiste stone/mineral notes, lavender florals too. The palate is medium bodied, with intense flavors that are lightning it's feet. I am a fan of Faugeres wines and it's rare for me to try a new one like this one. — 2 years ago

Beautiful wine. Silky, slightly smoky and easy to drink. So often you hear fruit forward, it is not. Fruit on the end makes it juicy and happy. 😎🍷🇺🇸 — 7 years ago

(koo dah foo drah) - The moment when "lightning strikes" or something unforgettable occurs. A blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cab Franc & 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months on new oak. Fresh berry fruit aromas and exotic soft spice. On the palate sweet blackberry & cherry with vanilla spice and oak tones. Lingering ending with well balanced fruit spice and oak. — 8 years ago

Lightning struck eucalyptus bark - what a nose!

Licorice, mint, basil. Tar, tobacco, burnt barrel. This is a wine that will always calm my pre race jitters. The vintage was amazing.
Salted boysenberry popsicle sticks end this wine with a long, long lasting finish. — 8 years ago

Lightning level reduction and acidity. But with a warm body of integrated oak. Tasted Grand Cru level. So lucky to have experienced this. — 3 years ago

Very quaffable, but still impressive, showing the elegance of cabernet franc - blackcurrant, herbs, charmingly farm-like (not much, though, it’s no brett-monster at all). Acidity like lightning through the dark fruits, polished tannins. Pretty much perfect. Magnum bottle. — 7 years ago

Killer Chablis 1er Cru. An absolute lightning bolt of a wine, linear and acid-driven to be sure. Drinking awesome right now, the fruit is still quite primary but has obviously integrated a bit into the whole of the wine. Still has quite a life ahead of it tbh; I would have thought it was only a few years old rather than almost 8 if I hadn’t known beforehand. Bracing and mineral as you’d expect, with a great textural balance between cut and fleshiness.

- Color: bright, medium (-)/medium intensity straw-gold hue
- Nose: just-ripe starfruit, ripe green and yellow apple, an almost smoky crushed stone and chalk mineral character, lemon curd, oyster shell salinity, hard cheese rind leesiness, creme fraiche
- Palate: ripe green apple, ripe starfruit, lemon and grapefruit pulp, wet stone minerality and oyster shell salinity, hard cheese rind, creme fraiche
- Acid: high
- RS: bone dry
- Alcohol: medium/medium (+), not intrusive
- Body: medium (-) body; supple, oily texture from the sur lie elevage

Delicious BC Pinot from the Canyonview Vineyard. Strawberries, hay, mushrooms and earthy notes surround the palette. Love Lightning Rock wines…small vineyard who take extreme pride in their craft. — 4 years ago

Like drinking lightning bolts ⚡️ Ripe green pear, white peach, tart citrus, zest and pith, citrus blossom, tea leaves, crushed chalk, a layer of spring honey just barely. Tense on day one with electric acidity. Day 2 showing more aromatic complexity and a kiss of breadth on the palate. So much acid and rocks. Day 4 still fresh as a daisy — 6 years ago
