Tart green apple, light-medium bodied, very dry and crisp, steely finish. It’s a simple wine, but on point for a Petit Chablis. — 4 years ago

8.7

Lighter bodied, very crisp and dry. I get limes at least twice, it starts off as lime juice, then towards the end as bitter lime zest, with some chalk in the middle. Enjoy this with seafood! — 4 years ago

Dark amber, very dry, high acidity, light-medium bodied. Toasted almonds, bitter green olives, a little oily, saline finish. You could probably drink this with just about any food and be in a good place. — 4 years ago

8.7

Blueberry, blackberry, fig.higher acidity, medium-high tannins, medium-full bodied, a little hot (at 16.2%). A hint of licorice, maybe some graphite and a fairly long finish. Seems a little out of balance and tougher to pair with food from the higher alcohol level, but overall good wine. — 4 years ago

8.8

Fairly sweet (just shy of dessert wine). Balanced with medium body and nice acidity. Tropical flavors including pineapple and lychee, plus some wet stone minerality to pull it together. — 4 years ago
