Gorgeous and silken, the 2019 Generation Dix-Neuf is a ball of beautiful, silky, concentrated Pinot Noir. Savory and smoky, it seems effortless, although it's clearly been anything but based on the impeccable quality. It caresses the palate. There's intensity and density here but no weight. The 2019 is a very complete wine that's still young. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2024)

This was a farewell dinner for our roommate Arlene. Graduating from viticulturist at Opus One to Chateau Mouton Rothschild. We’re so proud of her!

Very nice lemon and grapefruit citrus. Clean, with hints of malolactic softness. Very crisp acids.

Complex nose of yellow apples, pears and pear blossom with hints of honey. Layered palate with yellow apples, green pear and a touch of honey sweetness. Has great length and complexity! Feels like a wine made from grapes grown in Silex.
