Always a solid producer with great value. Structured with rich color--classic Gev-chamb at a great price.

Young, but showing the ability to grow. Med tannin, violets, cherry cola, hint of underbrush and nice acidity. Would love to try this in 5-Years.

The last of the celebration/family-in-town partay. Beautiful. Balanced. Earth, violets, berries and licorice.That's all for now!

Oct 15th, 2017Really pretty. Violets, cherry, mushroom, cola and nice acid. Great balance. Went great with some Alaskan(Doug)salmon. Yum!

A cherry bowl facing the forest after a late summer storm. Manure and hay behind. There is lavender and hay. That is where this wine takes me. It has a sense of place, a wild red fruit soul. Much loved. A very important day too. 2013, great acidity

Solid. Nicely made GC with the dark fruits and structure one would expect. Found it very approachable with layers of earth, animal, and minerals on the the nose framing the fleshy and upfront fruit on the palate.

Light ruby color; crushed pre-ripe strawberries, hint of forest-farm aromas and delightful flowery perfume; medium-high acids and red fruits dominate the palate along with oak-hints and a rough unbalanced yet long and not unpleasant finish. Not a typical GC for sure and adequately priced. Had with Jan Lundgren jazz trio on vinyl.

Young, but tasty. Bright red fruit, plenty of acidity and lots of pinot spice. Not going to change your life, but still speaks clearly of both pinot and Burgundy.
