Expected way less. Drank like early 90s meursault (in some cases better) didn’t have the ‘zing’ like but then I realized we’re taking 16 years. Gary’s rosella’s vineyard is a grand cru Monterey site and this comes correct in every way. Baking spices, warm apple pie and candies citrus on the nose with a slightly materized and compote palate. A long and intriguing finish. Made by bernardus former winemaker mark Chesebro. If you’re not on that email list, now is the time www.chesebrowines.com. His wines run $18-30 for Albariño, vermentino, pinot, Grenache and syrah. Insane values
