2022. Pretty German Pinot. Bit reductive. But opened nicely and sweet red fruit with a good balance. — 10 days ago
John has this right: old school. It’s rich and has plenty of unripe strawberry and garrigue and tart cherries going on. Love it. Not too complex but great value. 2023

Pure of heart this. Meatiness on nose and some delicate flowers from the viognier. What a treat. 2021. This is a starter cote rotie? Boy. — 3 days ago
Simple Côtes du Rhône. And that’s a good thing. Fruit forward but grippy. 2021 — 16 days ago
Slightly sweeter Chianti than I’m used to. Slight tart cherry fruit but cooked. And rich. Only 13°. Seem hotter. — a month ago
Exceeds expectations. Which were low to be sure. Easy drinking. Un oaked. Enjoyable Nice lemon and green apple here. — a month ago
Pretty color. Bit more stuffing than expected. Balance of acidity and fruit - crushed ripe small strawberries. Perfect for a street lunch in paris. — 3 days ago
Simple Pinot. Pleasant as heck. Vague tannins but nice fruit. 2023. — a month ago
Heavy handed on the oak and butter. But nicer balance I assume due to how far north it comes from. Enjoyable but chunky. — a month ago

Pure Rasteau. Bit of licorice and right red and black fruit with that plumminess from the Syrah. Lovely. 221 — 16 hours ago
