Went through a 3-pack of these over the past year. Enjoyed each one. Re-buy.

100% Pinot from Verzenay. Mid-2022 disgorgement. 3yrs on the lees. 3g/l dosage.

The dark black wrap around the bottle certainly makes this stand out. Deep gold in the glass. Powerful red fruit (raspberries) but also some tropical fruit (guava), and a toasty flair aromatically. Big rich and round profile on the palate with a small yeasty/leesy vibe, spiced pear, caramel apple, truffle honeycomb and limestone.

Style wise, this is kind of a grower champagne version of Bollinger’s Special Cuvée (similar price point too). Great with garlic fries! — a year ago

Nose - terra cotta pot, wet stone, rose petals. Flavors - Plum, cherry and apricot. Super soft tannins and velvet mouth feel with just a bit of acid to balance it out. With just a hint of a dry pleasing finish. Love this wine! My kind of Cab Sav! — a year ago

Unlike older Scarecrows, this vintage was ready to drink at the onset with its wonderful aromatics of currants, tobacco, and floral bouquet. On the pallet was an excellent balance of spices and dark berries. This full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon can't be beat when it comes to complex Napa wines. — a year ago

A delicious and smooth expression of Chianti Classico. Soft tannins, nice to drink on its own and also solid with a tomato pasta. — a year ago

Had this at home with my darling husband, cooked his prosciutto and chicken rolls on top of cannellini beans… Delicious! — a year ago

9.4

Linear, precise but with some weight. Perfect pairing wine. Lemon and citrus (mandarin orange juiciness) forward with creaminess and weight on the back. Mersault like but has a distinct pithy, citrus peel and umami character on the mid palate. — a year ago
