Beautiful full bodied robust standing tall petro oily slate bite no apologies — 6 months ago
Thought all gone. Interesting take of Grenache and Syrah from Ventoux with a solid medium bodied still robust palate. Unfortunately it kinda overpowered the mixed menu of various eats. — 8 months ago
2002 vintage. Decanted and tasted throughout the course of 3 hours. A trace of sediment. Still fairly dark on the color. Good fill, good cork. Light-medium body. Nose had an aggressive orange zest/dried orange peel mixed with cinnamon and cherry nose for two hours that infiltrated the flavor profile. Eventually, a bit of cranberry and raspberry emerged as the prominent movers and shakers. Initially thought the wine to be a 9.0 but prettied up to a 9.1. Could just be "in transition" or not a top-notch bottle. Seemed to be potentially holding something back and got the feeling another bottle might show a little better. 12.9.23. — 3 years ago
Smooth, balanced Pinot. Gentle blackcurrant nose. Excellent slightly earthy flavor, "velvety", light on tannins. — 6 months ago
Pop n pour. Given that it’s 70% Mourvèdre, the color is surprisingly light. (There’s 25% Grenache and 5% Syrah too.) Medium color saturation. Inviting nose of a melange of ripe berries and a smoky embers note. Crushed rock behind that. Soft and intensely flavored in the mouth, with the berries less prominent, jousting with dark earthy and pleasantly vegetal notes. Soft but balanced acids and tannins almost silky. Really nice. Terrific value at $25 from WTSO. — 7 months ago

Bright ruby color. Aromas of red berry fruit, violets, wood smoke and wet soil. Flavors of red cherries and currants with additional notes of cooked mushrooms, baking spices and coffee. Medium bodied but a bit short on the mid-palate. Silky tannins and light acidity. Part of Kevin Zraly’s 2025 Red Burgundy Master Class. — 8 months ago

Still performing on ripe lemon infused freshness and a flinty mineral undertone. Excellent. — 11 days ago
