For trying to take some “close to France” points in the description it doesn’t have much Alsace or burgundy going for it. Typical fruity and light tannins of a Pinot Noir but why is the vanilla there? Short as well — 4 days 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. — 2 months ago

Solid, decent value, and good expression of Chablis. — 3 months 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. — 3 months ago

Um, interesting. Blind I would have sworn up and down it was a sweet white. Loads of ripe fruit and biting acidity. But it is carignan . . . . It finishes without tannin and with a slight rubber note. — 16 days ago

Good but missing that quality to make it great. Nose of banana. On the palate green apple and crisp. Finishes a touch short. — a month 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. — 3 months ago

Typicity of a sweet dessert wine for sure. Moderate acidity finishing short. — a month ago

8.9

Very well balanced semi-dry. Has the zesty, moderate acidity of a dry Riesling to show off minerally and lime zest notes. Finishes sweet without being cloying. — a month 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. — 2 months ago
