Spicy and floral, the 2021 Chardonnay X Novo Vineyard blossoms in the glass with a complex, mineral-tinged blend of ginger-spiked apples, lime zests and sage. Luxuriously silky and soothing with medium-weight textures and depths of ripe pit fruits, this excels with tenacity and brisk acids that lift the experience despite the sheer intensity within. A burst of tart citrus saturates the palate, puckering the cheeks and leaving a salty staining as a subtle tannic tug adds perfect punctuation. While powerful and broad, the balance here is spellbinding. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2024)

I really like this red blend. Blends can be iffy, but if you are trying to work your way to a cab, but a Merlot is too light and you are worried the cab will be too much for you, this is a nice transition wine. — 8 months ago

1970 vintage. From a 375 ml format. Last tasted 10.13.23 (also out of a 375). That one rated a 9.0. This one a better example. The black truffle still omnipotent but more body and depth this go round. Would like to taste from a properly cellared 750 but thinking a maggie-right now-would be sublime and hitting a 9.4/9.5. 3.3.24. — 2 months ago
