For the value reminds me I need to drink more cabs from Chile. This was delicious — 5 months ago

Very distinct smell and a taste that doesn't resemble that smell, but taste very good. I enjoyed this very much, and it surprised me in a positive way — 2 years ago

One of those cases where I can't make a mere sip and fight for the right to finish the bottle. Yet it's sad, cause it's not available anymore in my local store. The first thing to notice is the pale colour of the wine. Apparently, caused by gentle extraction. A beautiful bouquet of fried sunflower seeds, raspberry, strawberry, dark chocolate, spices and gouache. Delicate on the palate, juicy and almost perfectly balanced with good acidity and velvety tannins. It is also flavourful and has a long-lasting aftertaste. To summarize, it is approachable and delicious Pinot Noir, stylistically closer to Bourgogne with a ripe twist. — 3 years ago

N: Very confectionery, lots of lime, as kaffir, almost peppermint stick, yellow and white flowers.Crushed white rock.
P: Big spritz on the front of the mouth,
Green apple, lime, very delicate on the palate, juicy but never cloying. Very refreshing. Very mineral. Waiting on it to open more.

The fruit & sense of place is so strong just from the nose…I could live here. Freshly picked strawberries, cardamon, old barn wood, but all so vibrant that it’s in 3D. Palate picks up the aromatics & redoubles them in intensity, along with black currants. So satisfying & generous, imagine in no small part helped by the six years of age.Lovely integrated mouthfeel too. — a year ago

Tasting great. So good with food. Flowers, minerals, there’s a fruit sweetness too but overall it is mineral driven with good acidity. I can’t keep my nose out of the glass. — 2 years ago

I enjoy the VA here. It adds pitch to the otherwise clean and simple palate. There is some nice herbal complexity on the back end but this is missing volume and has a somewhat welches quality to it. — 3 years ago

Bright tart cherry and berry upfront and that highly desirable Pinot earthiness that pairs so well with salmon, pork, cheeses, and charcuterie. I am surprised some folks have rated it so low in comparison to how good it tastes! I would definitely buy this again! — 2 years ago

Last bottle wasn’t the best but I think we’re now 9 for 10 with this wine across 3 vintages. — 3 years ago
