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. — a day 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. — a month ago

Starts great from the first pour. Nose sings of petrol and the palate answers with acidified caramelized pineapple. Pear, flowers, honey and more dance across the tounge. — 2 months 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. — 15 days 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. — 24 days ago

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. — 2 months ago

Solid, decent value, and good expression of Chablis. — 15 days ago

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. — 22 days ago

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

9.1

Cherry, stewed strawberries, tar on the palate. Moves into roses on the finish. Silky tannins that crescendo before slowly thinning out. — 2 months ago
