This is surprisingly good for a bargain-priced St. Emmie. Nose shows clear, ripe plummy Merlot fruit, some clay-inflected earth, some underbrush, and subtle, pleasant vegetal note. Very nice balance and mouthfeel. Not a bruiser, but more on the elegant side. Fruit, tannin, acids all nicely dancing together. I like this a lot! — a month ago

Tasted this one blind. First thing i wrote in my notes was ”really tasty”. I thought this was a Sancerre with some oak. Really fresh with depth. Not a combination I usually find in a wine like this. Impressive. — 23 days ago

Sturdy. Plenty of oak and tannin with highish acid. Needs a couple hours of air then starts to open up. Intensely structured wine. Not giving up a ton of fruit. Mushrooms and cranberries. Long finish. Yeah that’s pretty pretty good 👍🏼 — a month ago

Dark purple with near black core. Violets and leather on the abundant nose. Confirmed on the full palate with black pepper, blackberries,and black earth. Dusty medium plus tannins assert fro entry. Juicy medium acidity cuts through despite all of that big stuff going on around it. Black fruit is there but something seems to pull back on its presence. Finish is lengthy and continues the palate adding a hint of menthol (probably the French oak). This "Big G" can give a lot of CdP a significant run for the money. The body and dark fruit (and price) call out for a hearty meal, but don't pass it by with a heady cheese and charcuterie plate. Drink now through 2037. — 20 days ago

2020 vintage. This alternate property naming nonsense is a real pita for a wine list. Trying to keep it G-rated but biting my tongue something fierce. Despite all that, still picked this up. Plenty of headaches but oodles of staying power. 11.20.24. — a month ago

Power, poise and precision. Black fruit galore, spice, bacon and butcher shop, bonfire, smoke, olives, garrique - an incredible nose that gave me goosebumps. Perfect balance, immense intensity and just spot on. — 2 months ago
