Not any better than the bottle I had last year, not even a Wagyu New York strip helped it out. Strangely didn’t realize I had this last January until I posted it just now and looked up others rating’s🤷🏼♂️
I should look these things up before I open a bottle — a year ago
Pure decadence! Initial impressions of lemon custard rippled heavily with pure sweet vanilla eventually give way to flavors of baked apricots and peaches.
Luc Morlet, the previous wine maker from Peter Michael, certainly knows how to make a good wine. A few of you that have posted other wines from their portfolio can vouch on the increasing difficulty to find their allocations. Definitely buy when you find! — 2 years ago
Notes of coffee and cranberry. Absolutely wonderful. Not as full bodied as a zin but still great. — 3 years ago
Very very good with hot water — 5 months ago
I am not sure why I don’t see this producer posted on Delectable. They make excellent cuvées using neutral barrels, which makes for more complex wines. Yet, they do not push the oxidative characteristics too far for my palate. They were an excellent visit last October.
The palate leads with juicy lemon pulp, pineapple juice, lime zest, kiwi, green & golden apple, some haunting Bosc pear, inside of the banana peel, ginger, saline, powdery & crumbled chalkiness, biscuits, baguette crust, some yeast, limestone minerals, vanilla, caramel, cream, yellow flowers, jasmine, excellent co2 and acidity with a well structured & balanced finish that lingers a minute & a half and does not fade. Excellent 375ml valve.
Derived from the 2017 vintage and complemented by reserve wines from 2015 and 2016, it was disgorged in 2019 with nine grams per liter dosage. 30% Chardonnay – 70% Pinot Noir classified Premier Cru. Aging ten months in oak barrels, no malolactic.

Not sure if I’m connected to the correct wine. This was rated 90 on some review (posted at Pruetts) and highly recommended by Bill the Wine Guy. $32. Smooth, sweet without being sweet. Not oaky but a bit buttery. — 4 months ago
