Everything that you want from a French Chardonnay. Crisp. Acid. Green apple freshness. Minimal oak. Really beautiful. — 4 years ago
Jasmine, quince paste, spiced pear, lemon curd, pineapple sweetness, punchy. Touch of lemon pith at end, but tons of juicy acid. Creamy / lactic. Chalky minerals. Layered, delicious, weighty.

Mas Jullien ‘Les Depierre’ 1995 (Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault). Utterly spellbinding. This puts any doubt about the potential quality for Languedoc wines to rest. An intoxicating yet delicate nose of redcurrant, blackberry, and graphite, with hints of smoke, paprika, and liquorice at the very end (not unlike a Barca Velha opened recently). Gorgeous palate; still tannic, with great acidity. Very long and with a clear sense that it has just come intimista own. A shame most of these bottles will have been opened a long time ago... — 6 years ago
2023 vintage. FLB jetsam. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes and 1 hour. Medium/medium-heavy body. Dark color. Round impressions. Pleasant berry escapades on the back end with spritzes of rhubarb. This was waay too young and could definitely use 2-3 years to dump the baby fat and reapply. Nicely made. Just needs more time to reveal all the wonders within. 6.26.26. — 2 months ago

Paired with a nice Indian meal. Off dry complemented the heat and spice. — 5 years ago
Bonnie’s favorite Pinot Noir, with good reason. It’s just beautiful. — 6 years ago
One of my go-to California Chards. All the hallmarks I like. Oak notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and brioche toast, but balanced by high acid and minerality. The best of both worlds. — 4 months ago
Fresh, lively, apple flavours maybe a bit weak on the finish but very enjoyable — 5 years ago
Notes of toasted bread, apples and strawberry. Soft tiny bubbles. Great on a summer evening. — 6 years ago
Really quite nice once you gave it some air. A bit stiff on its own but great with the robust flavors of the the Pinot Noir short ribs we had. — 6 years ago

Crisp and mineral with citrus, green apple and white flower. Bright acidity and a long, clean finish. Had at Dunbar House with a local organic greens salad with fresh blueberries, goat cheese, and toasted sunflower hearts. — a month ago
