2022: a subdued nose of lemon blossom, white fruits, a whiff of almond oil. Lightly impresses itself on palate with bracing acidity that creates a clean, saline sensation. Citrus and stone. Needs more time in bottle. — 9 days ago

2004 Reserve: tobacco leaf, menthol, leather, star anise, and earth on the nose. Gorgeous assimilation of acidity and tannins. Almost unctuous really. Red fruits still feel young as wine opens with gorgeous structure and lengthy finish. At 20yrs old, really hitting its stride, so representative of Nebbiolo!! — 5 months ago

First tried this at Goosecross. This is an unctuous Sauvignon Blanc of pear and apricot and lesser floral notes. Clean and defined palate. For a Sauvignon Blanc, it sorta slaps! Happy Thanksgiving! — 6 months ago

2018 Vintage: shockingly approachable right out of the gate. The tannins were nicely integrated and there was a richness and “heft” to the palate that reminded me of Chambertin…but this is most certainly Barolo and not Burgundy — 2 months ago

2020 NV: golden yellow with crusty bread notes on the nose. Really nice effervescent bubbles with brioche and white fruit and a lovely lengthy finish. Outstanding NV juice! — 5 months ago

2017: for a warm vintage, a little thin when it comes to palatal heft. Finish drops off quickly…but Dark fruit and dark chocolate are present with savory herb. It’s fine, not great. — 7 months ago

2023: a sensual Chardonnay for sure: lush with white fruit (hint of peach). Very round but enough acidity to keep it from becoming flat. Really lovely young wine that pleases now! — 2 months ago

2018: bright nose of blackberry jam. Same on palate with a rich plush body and medium finish. This was better when tasted at vineyard earlier this year but still a solid Cab. — 5 months ago

A soft, almost jammy expression of Pinot. Very soft tannins. Medium finish. Lacking structure for me. An easy drinker! — 5 months ago
