A beautiful golden color. Nose - notes of guava fruit, unripe banana, baking soda and lemon followed by floral herbs and yellow grapefruit. Taste - OMG! rich and creamy with a slight oily feel on palate. Initial notes of apricot, lemon rhine and hints of grapefruit, followed by tastes of saline and wet rock and a white pepper tangerine adding to its long finish. — 7 months ago
Tons to unwind here. Black and green olives, clay and uncooked peat, multi grain bread, pecan, black sesame, mushroom fricassee, grilled filet with beurre blanc and jus. Sage, mint, and tarragon. All cohesively woven together; immaculate. That’s just the nose. Graphite and oak pencil the initial signature, which delineates the oeuvre. The cherry life cycle, from underripe to dried expressed in black and red; still-grainy tannins supporting. Raspberry tart, briary berrries. Rooibos tea, cinnamon and clove. Impeccable.

Le trouble fait.. le trouble est.. ce vin est TOP. Dry, but smells of honeysuckle with underlying taste of a creamsicle. Easy drinking. Will absolutely buy again. — 6 months ago
2010 vintage. Black cherry and black currant with cigar box and allspice and a touch of multi-grain on the nose. Black and bing cherry with chewy tannins and rooibos. Plum tartness, and an interesting grape-y aspect. Ripe currant and licorice.
This is more like it!

The 2022 white blend is Picpoul, Clairette, Orange Muscat, Marsanne, Rousanne and Chardonnay. More Muscat than the Pet Nat, and the orange peel and floral notes are great. A little nutty, dried apricot, pear, yuzu, sea salt. Medium acid. Very good versatile and Rhône-inspired white. — a year ago
