Fantastic wine! Exotic fruits, vanilla & velvety finish. A bit sweet maybe but still dry. — 5 years ago
Essence is an interesting idea from the Vins et Vignobles Dourthe company in Bordeaux, which is widely known in the UK and Europe, but they are recently placing their focus on the U.S. market. It is a blend from the best plots of some of their well-known chateaux. Only 500 cases made. This 2008 was simply dense, dark, and lovely. Espresso, licorice, intense graceful fruit & long finish. — 10 years ago
Great summer companion for tuna steak. Chasselas will be on of my favorites in the future. — 6 years ago

Une belle bouteille que ce « simple » Sonoma Coast provenant de 4 vignobles de la région, Flowers que j'ai connu grâce au livre 1001 vins. Un nez bien agréable de beurre, mie de pain, amande et chèvrefeuille. La bouche est intense, longue avec une bonne acidité malgré un certain gras avec du beurre. — 5 months ago
