Lots of sun drenched orchard fruit on the nose, confirmed on the palate. Ripe pear and apple, some baking spices but not overpowering. Medium plus finish. I think the balance of the fruit and acidity is off; 14.1 percent abv; if it was 13-13.5 with a slightly less ripe fruit profile and more acid it would be better. — 5 months ago
Do you know I keep trying it and I’m just not a fan of Gewurztraminer. There’s too much of a perfume flavor to it but it’s sort of reminds me of like chewing those fake fruit gummy‘s. This is delicious, it just sort of gets overwhelming after a while. — 3 years ago
A Bordeaux blend with aromas of dark fruit, spice and cedar notes, aged for 20 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with herbs, cacao and spice with underlying gentle sweetness. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and herb spice. — 2 months ago

A nice full body medium tannin. Robust with a bit of jam and earth. — 2 years ago
It’s like almost every Napa chard from a high end producer. It’s good but not amazing. It reminds me of a warm hug. — 2 months ago

For a 19 year old Cab from Rutherford Valley it is stunning. Still nice fruit with vanilla and tobacco overtones. Nice acidity and long finish. Goes well with our Pork Tenderloin. — 9 months ago
Mmm, delicious. Altesse is likely my favorite Savoie white. While I live how Jacquere can almost have this ethereal quality to it, very pure mountain air kind of feel, Altesse brings this weight and depth which is really intriguing. This 2016 is just starting to show a little oxidation, but in a gracefully aged sort of way. Apple skin, delicate white flowers, slight brioche, lemon zest and loads of minerality on the finish. Delightful. — 3 years ago
