Mellow ripe cherries. Seductive cola aroma. Wild yeast. I think I got a little effervescence initially. Tart red fruits and minerally. Supple like an aged Rijoa with soft tannins. Medium-length finish. Could be more elegant if these guys keep the brett in check.

Always a favorite producer. Earthy red fruits, white pepper, sous bois.

A total favorite for me. Love this wine and producer. Light but full, fruit on the nose with long flowing finish of hard herbs and earth.

I just cannot get past the brett with these guys. It is always so dominant. And objectively unpleasant. There, I said it. Where do I hand in my sommelier pin?

Textbook Bourgueil. Pure, pyraziney, earthy with a beautifully light and refreshing texture. Tried again 10/22 and was pure and lovely.

This is stunning. What poise and length. The length is ridiculous. Wild, feral, stony nose, gravy, darkness, woodland berries, elf-like creature's tiny droppings and so much more. Not for everyone but it is definitely for me. Palate is refined and powerful with serious structure and density and very vivid fruit. A big boy but so juicy. What length. Genius wine that has 20+ years in the tank.
