Red currants & goji berries, Sweet cedar & pine resin, ripe plums: drinking beautifully now though this has legs & curious how it will fare next year, plus with a decant. Drank pop n pour with much time in glass, as the heavens rained down once again on the east coast. — a day ago

A main player on BYob night at French restaurant. Silky smooth (decanted at least 30/45 mins); beautiful crushed red fruit thing fused with some kind of cardamom spice mix thing. Paired with roast salmon in a charcuterie sauce. Felt like a really in their prime 4th outfielder who could play any position in a pinch—not a standout but absolutely integral as a team player, if you can forgive baseball metaphors. — 9 days ago

Sometimes the old standards really are needed. Still, at 14.5% abv I can feel the varietal straining. — 13 days ago

Black & red cherries, medium heft Morgon with a gossamer smooth palate helped by a robust decant (2+) hours. Paired with a garlicky lemon shrimp main with orzo, & did just fine — 6 days ago

Night out at French restaurant for byob night, our entry & toasting wine. So so vibrant, like shimmering in the glass vibrant: chiseled, yellow waxed fruit, echoes of cassis. Damn good, glad someone else brought it! — 9 days ago

Fiano made in… Puglia, not Calabria. Rich, briny, minerally, medium bodied. Fills the mouth. Can imagine garlicky mussels in broth or some such strong flavors. Even hot dogs…w sauerkraut. — a month ago

High end Cremant with structure & clear orchard fruits on palate. 75% Pinot/10 gamay/10 Aligoté/ 5 Chard. Portal to dinner but paired with Vermont Paulet, a soft cows milk cheese & a Le Menieur a French goat/sheep tome style. Yum. — 6 days ago

Paired with starters for a French bistro styled restaurant meal, showed brilliantly: big hit at the table. Candied violets, wild raspberries, bracing. Long & firm mousse. — 8 days ago

So so solid especially as an estate, entry level bottle. Body just slightly more etched in glass than average. — 11 days ago

Dark violets, sage, blackberry pie & menthol. The flavors all seem to be infused with just enough air, so the palate presents as relatively light & even a bit of fun. Nothing thick, dreary, or heavy here. If a midweek Barolo exists, this may be it, depending on your idea of reasonable. — a month ago
