The 2020 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with hints of peach skin, undergrowth and resin scents, becoming more floral with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, quite tensile with a touch of dried honey emerging towards the finish, reflecting that warm summer. Very fine. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

Dark fruit forward, juicy blackberry, blueberry, and plum, underbrush and earth, resolved tannins and excellent lift. Wonderful. Maybe the best red I’ve had from the Finger Lakes. — 3 years ago
Picked this up at the winery in FLX. Aroma of citrus and minerals. Tart minerals up front. Not your typical Chardonnay. Minerals and citrus in the middle. A quick finish. — 3 years ago

Very nice Cabernet Savignon, a luscious, smooth and fruity taste. Enjoyed with pasta. Went to Central Market to get The Prisoner but it was sold out, the gentleman recommend this as an option - great choice. — a month ago
