Wow! This may be the best Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Something for everyone. Minerals, stone fruit galore, lemons, a hint of spiced lemon tea, a creaminess, the finish lass minutes. It coats my palate but is not big. Asks for food but also can be drunk solo. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this wine. Up there with the best Chablis and Oregon chards I’ve ever had. — 2 months ago

Total sleeper of a producer. 8ha producer sandwiched between Lynch Bages, Pichon Lalande, and Latour. Perfectly mature with a charming rusticity all too rare in 90s Pauillac. — 7 years ago

Second stop in Sonoma with Andrew Berge of Spell Estate, La Pitchoune and Tiny House to name a few. Last red from La Pitchoune is their Black Label VDK from the Van der Kamp Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. Aged for 12 months in 25% new French oak barrels and then aged for an additional 11 months in 50% new French oak. That is a total of 23 months in French oak and only 48 cases produced.

Deep ruby red with purple core and garnet edges. Rounded and lush nose with dark cherries, raspberries and a little bit of cola. Well balanced and integrated acidity (6.5/10) with a medium plus body. Light spices on the palate like cinnamon and nutmeg followed up by rich raspberries and a bit of gravel in the long finish. Drink till 2030. $$$ — 8 years ago

Aged very well! Very fine burgundian, gruner-influenced nose (ripe papaya, melon, pineapple with some apple and quince, hints of white pepper and perroleum). More Riesling-dominant on the palate with stonefruit and again petroleum. Medium plus bodied with only 12,5% abv, long minerality driven afterhall. — 9 years ago
