A great Cab Franc - lovely aromatics, floral and fruit, yes some pyrazine too but classic. Just barely into ripe flavors but in a good way. 12% alc What you’re looking for in Loire CF. KLWM CG 2-26 — a month ago

Rich, round, deeply concentrated. Me gusta. And funk free! That problem from earlier vintages appears to have been solved. — 5 months ago
No ratings on this wine in a while it seems. The 2024 vintage is quite quaffable, although more tannin than I’d expect in a carbonic wine. Perhaps semi-carbonic, with some time on that 100% whole cluster following the carbonic maceration? A very enjoyable wine though, fruit forward as you’d expect from carbonic but with more structure and grip. Well made. — 18 days ago
Dark, intensely concentrated, blackberry plum and crushed wildflowers on the nose, Italian bitterness, tannins, slightly heavy oak component but this wine handles it, finish is a bit alcoholic. All in all, a robust red that probably could have spent another couple years in bottle before opening. — 4 months ago
I love to hate on PG, it could y do that with this one. Round and rich, sure maybe a touch too flabby / low acid, but really nice depth and length. Slightly hard to justify QPR, but definitely one of the better Pinot Gris I’ve had in a few years. — a month ago
Beautiful example of Northern Rhône Syrah. Lovely aromatics of dark berries, black tea, pepper, violet, crushed rose petal. Continued to open up and evolve in the glass. Good value. — 3 months ago
