60 bucks. 14%. More California than Burgundy fine middle of the road wine but really not that distinct/with a sense of place. For this look elsewhere like in Germany. Tee notes, subdued cherry, orange 🍊. A little rustic. Not worth it. The times were normal mortals can try good burghs for <60 bucks are essentially over. One needs to try 100 bottles for < 60$ to find a gem. Not really a value proposition. Interesting also that many Sommeliers at least in San Diego have not had the opportunity to try key terroir Burghs. The Restaurant owners buy the wines more often than not blind. And even good Producers can sometimes miss the mark.
