Les Caillerets Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Slow gripping tannins dominant young wine. Light violet attack begins short fruit progression.

Highlights from the W&S Top 100 tasting tonight.

Deep rich w loads o mineralidy. Tasty rich w red fruits like cherry n a little raspberry.

I am a bit obsessed with Caillerets and in the hands of a great winemaker like Mounir is it hard to resist. Not a bad line up....

I pulled the wrong vintage on my way out the door but this 2015 was astoundingly good tonight. Approachable and complex and easy and nuanced all in one. Mounir makes awesome wines!

Pulled this one again and it delivered! This is just plain terrific. Nuff said.

This is always one of the favorites. He just makes such balanced wines. More please!

Tomato leaf once again, green/stems, incense, currants and black plums. Very soft tannins, medium finish.

In 2012 this is always a crowd pleaser.

Loving this. Again.
