Some of the best sleeper white Burgs are from Pernand and this is my favorite. Have had every vintage since 11. Gorgeous nose. Lemon drop, discreet and sweet wood. Really air, also feral and mineral. Caramel nougat but more in a terroir baby corton charlie sense than a barrel sense. Palate is bracing, fresh and so complete with minerals to burn, sweet wood, green apple and pear and all so refined. Excellent. Wow. With air this is a 9.5. The finesse now is here. — 2 years ago
2018 Starscape Vineyard Chardonnay; rich bouquet; full bodied; great mouthfeel; reminiscent of Kistler; great value at $24 from Last Bottle. — 4 years ago
The sleeper vintage. Simply just ready to go, holding nothing back as it wafts from the glass and the decanter with layers of cassis, cedar, violets and licorice. This is a wine of texture, as Margaux should be, and indeed its greatest attribute on this occasion. Liquid cashmere in the mouth with melting tannins, it’s sensual and elegant, caressing the palate with each sip, leading to its black truffle and mineral inflicted finale that keeps on going. Excellent showing tonight, and for my tastes drinking at its apogee. — 2 years ago
This was tasty with acidic, spice, woodsy flavors throughout. Nice and clear, with a crisp nose. Definitely got better with some breathing time. — 3 years ago
This benefited from age and is in a great place. A tiny bit of oxidation, soft acidity, integrated tannins. A real winner and a sleeper surprise. — 2 years ago
The can is convenient but still best served in a glass. I don’t even usually like Sauvignon blanc but this was pretty good. Straw yellow color, gooseberries, bitter almond, slight savory and saline finish. — 3 years ago
Leather - soft notes of dark cherry and mineral notes you would have expected from Howell Mountain fruit. This wine has aged beautifully and is a sleeper on the wine list! — 4 years ago
