Such an interesting wine. The nose is hard to pin down. Both fruity but also maybe a little meaty/sanguine. There’s a really sweet background note like jam or preserves. When I first opened it it almost seemed to have the slightest tickle of carbonic maceration, but I don’t know. Very curious all around but I’m enjoying it. — 3 days ago

8.8

Wet stone, flint, grapefruit, gooseberry, fresh cut grass. This is exactly what you hope for from Sancerre. Zippy, fresh, light; pairs well with food but drinks well on its own. — 2 months ago

9.1

A great example of California Chardonnay done right. Rich and unctuous with big oaky vanilla notes balanced by a razor sharp acidity that keeps everything harmonious. This is old world influence meets new world swagger. — 10 months ago

8.5

I didn’t have high hopes for this 3-year old rosé but honestly it was fine. Nose is very mineral with chalk or wet stone. There’s a faint note of onion/garlic in the background. High acidity. Drinks more like white than rosé. — 7 days ago

8.7

Lots of strawberry and white pepper which leads me to believe it’s Grenache foreward. Super soft, silky texture. An easy sipper. — 2 months ago

I get a lot of ripe strawberry. Very
fruit forward and approachable. A little pepper which I guess is coming from the Grenache.

Tobacco, leather, graphite, and
cocoa powder on the nose. Powerful and tannic on the palate but with a pleasant black fruit sweetness and eucalyptus.

9.0

The nose is lemon curd, butterscotch, and fresh cut grass. Bright acidity up front with some buttery richness through the mid-palate and a hint of vanilla on the finish. All around a very well balanced wine. — 4 months ago
