Good but missing that quality to make it great. Nose of banana. On the palate green apple and crisp. Finishes a touch short. — 2 days ago

Mmm petrol right on the nose and early palate. Medium plus acidity. Moves into peach and fleshy/light tropical fruit with lots of fresh flowers. — a month ago

Fun wine but didn’t live up to the hype. Nose is banana laffy taffy. Great start! Palate is too short—starts out with thicker texture and some banana, tropical fruit, and coconut sunscreen. Then finishes into … not much. — 2 months ago

But if banana on the nose. Almost—almost—leans into a petrol/rubber hose/Riesling note. Moves into green apple and flinty, minerally notes on the palate. Highly acidic. — 15 days ago

Solid, decent value, and good expression of Chablis. — a month ago

Nose is cherry with a hint of brick. Fruit-forward but zingy with medium-plus tannins. Easy to drink but no “wow” and no extra layer. — 2 months ago

9.1

Initial nose of Christmas: a faint cinnamon and potpourri. Fades into a more traditional cherry and herbal nose. Palate of cherry and red fruit with a hint of mint and other herbs. Medium, smooth tannins. Fairly light. — 3 months ago

9.2

Beautiful wine. Presents as a cross of burgundy Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. Dusty cherry and strawberry on the palate like Sangiovese. Light tannins like Pinot. Welcome medium acidity to make it its own. — 23 days ago

9.0

Tough to rate. Nose has some chemicals. But, palate is that great west coast Pinot noir. Some chalky minerality and loads of fruit, primarily cherry. Quite a bit of acidic zip. — a month ago

See notes from 2020. 2022 is more fruit-forward with banana and tropical fruits dominating. Hint of petrol. — 2 months ago
