The 2016 La Conseillante is a benchmark wine for the estate, perhaps the first where winemaker Marielle Cazaux really made her mark. It has a divine bouquet that halts you in your tracks with its purity. Almost Burgundian in style, black fruit intermixes with blue, just a background scent of incense - less vanillary than before. The palate is marked by svelte tannins, cashmere in texture with just a trace of white pepper. The finish has a welcome sense of edginess with hints of graphite on the aftertaste. It's just the opening chapter in what will be an awesome Pomerol. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

Really pretty much everything you want from an easy-drinking orange. Even when off-cold it stays balanced and rounded. — 22 days ago
A bit hot and a bit flat, but still there’s the pedigree underneath. — 2 months ago
The 2010 Montrose is one of the highlights of the Icons of Bordeaux dinner. It has a show-stopper nose with powerful, intense, mineral-rich black fruit, becoming quite floral with aeration. Potpourri hints complement tobacco notes. The palate is fresh, vibrant and weighty, yet paradoxically, it has wonderful finesse. There is a symmetry about this Montrose, coupled with a tremendous length that leaves you wanting more. Brilliant. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

Continues to please, 4th year in a row where we’ve enjoyed this wine at the vineyard with a Margherita pizza. 🍕 🍷 Delicious with notes of strawberry, watermelon and citrus. Recommend both the wine and a summer time visit to Ex Nihilo and Chaos Bistro in Lake Country, Okanagan. — a year ago

@Delectable Wine - This wine is the Ex Post Facto Pinot Noir. First release. Medium ruby color. Aromas and flavors of red and black cherries, violets, fresh herbs and dusty earth. Medium texture and plus acidity. Elegant with a bit of grip. Good value for Santa Barbara Pinot. — 21 days ago
