Bright cherry and blueberry up front. Long smooth finish with a little spice — 5 months ago
A 50/30/20 blend of Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon, aged in a mix of vessels.
The nose is more restrained than expected from Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, showing fewer overt tropical notes. Instead, it opens with white peach, lemon zest, fresh-cut herbs, and delicate white florals. The palate is rounded bordering on creamy yet energized by vibrant acidity and a pronounced chalky minerality. A subtle impression of ripe fruit sweetness lingers through the medium-length finish.

Held up nicely. A creamy chard enjoyed by all! — 9 months ago
Deep magenta. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry, kirsch and lavender, along with vibrant mineral and exotic spice flourishes. Incisive red and dark berry, bitter cherry and succulent herb flavors show fine detail and spicy cut. Chewy, slowly building tannins add shape and grip to a strikingly long, nervy finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes. All whole clusters. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2023) — 3 years ago
Used in Red wine beef short ribs. Very good drinking and cooking wine. — 2 months ago
Along a bustling path made of ancient cut cobblestone, shadows lengthen across the exterior walls. Taverns bursting at the seams with people searching for refuge and libations as the sun grows weary. At the edge of this narrow bustling thoroughfare, the cobblestone rises up and creates a barrier against the vast void of the Bay of Biscay. Laughter, playful arguments, and wanting whispers flood the air, adding to the oppressive heat the suns pushes towards me in its last ditch effort of discomfort for the day. I drink up every ray as my feet dangle towards the breaking waves. All is right. The sun rays slowly crossfade into the voices growing louder as the night begins.
Nose: light strawberry, cut grass, lemon thyme. All faintly so.
Palate: bell pepper, serrano pepper, thai basil, zippy, medium-high acid, light bodied, lower alcohol. — 9 months ago
