Thoroughly enjoyed on NYE with Porc au Cidre and mashed potatoes with Crème Fraiche.

Everything you’d expect in a quality Sancerre. Will buy again.

Your nose is immersed in dark berries. There’s a twinge of alcohol at the end. Full bodied no doubt and opens up as time goes on. Not as flavorful or smooth as the 2019. Expected more but enjoyed on this Thanksgiving day when plans went belly up given our toddler’s surprise fever. — 5 months ago

The go to wine of my young 20s. It’s still a great bang for the buck. Medium bodied and versatile, it’s peppery on the nose and palate. Like in life, give it a minute to breathe and you’ll be rewarded with hints of dark berries. Maybe even black cherry… — 9 months ago

Pale in color and hints of mineral on the nose, this light body wine is great for a hot summer day. Enjoyed with fusilli in a pesto sauce.

Would not recommend if you need body or bite in your wine. It’s 11% alcohol.

Purchased after a private Estate Tasting with the estate manager. I’m gobsmacked. From the smell of the cork to the balanced notes on the nose it’s a delight. The taste. The finish. No words. A powerhouse. Poured 45 minutes before enjoying outside at Pasó del Rio for Mama Elvira’s 68th. Divine. Happy birthday mamá — 8 months ago

If you want a light to medium bodied Pinot Noir, this 2022 family vineyard reserva may be for you. However, don’t have Russian River Pinot Noir in mind as you smell and taste or else you’ll be left asking questions… — 5 months ago

Had low expectations but pleasantly surprised. Very light with hint of apple at first sip. Holds well and crisp. Could really enjoy this in the summer heat with a cheese and fruit board. — 6 months ago

A local Sonoma choice while in Concord, CA. Shale on the nose and smooth lemon citrus on the taste buds. Everything I want my Chardonnay to be. Enjoy with Lala and Nonna at Paso del Rio over a cheese, pickles, and fig plate. Bacchus approves — 8 months ago

8.7

Much lighter in color than a typical Sancerre and not as much body as you’d hope or expect. More alcohol forward on the nose and palate. Must serve chilled to not be in the disappointed state we find ourselves. — 9 months ago
