Rich, round, and weighty. Bright sweet lemon and brioche notes. 12 % ABV with a long grippy finish. Balance is the single best descriptor and pure pleasure the result. Prime example of a California character driven non-jammy Chablis-nuanced Chardonnay. Bravo! — a day ago

Medium brilliant yellow in the glass. Boisterous billowing aroma of toasted brioche, ripe peach, and lemon curd pours up your nose. Weighty, almost oily in the mouth. Round and rich and the finish lasts nearly a minute. Impressive! — 5 months ago

Reinforced my obsession with Pinot Meunière…. Almonds, fresh brioche, ripe pear and a hint of (banana?). Balance is impressive and not an acid-monster. My only negative is how the price keeps climbing. Happy turkey day y’all. — a year ago

9.2

Soft, light-bodied blend from a favorite producer. Strawberry, cherry, nice earthy stemmy tannins in ethereal balance. Low ABV and seemingly weightless. Tegan is my hero for producing increasingly small amounts of amazing shit and holding his price at a level that makes me smile. — 2 years ago

Brilliant sunshot yellow with bright lemon custard cream notes… 11% abv silky smoothen round weightless palate of lemon curd, honey, and lanolin. Rich, round, and woolly. God, I love aged Hunter Valley Semillon. All smiles for a Sunshine Coast Italian lunch. G’day from 85 degree Australia. — 2 months ago

After 35 years chasing the wonders of California Zinfandel…I still adore the juicy goodness and luscious black- fruited forwardness of the grape. Tegan’s deftness and fruit sources make me smile. Low alcohol, non-jammy, dark berries….summer bliss…simple pasta, sautéed fresh summer squash drowning in good balsamic, fresh parma, local onions, and pignolis. — 7 months ago

Gorgeous deep yellow with insane mousse…. Juicy ripe red apple and pear notes. Need to seek out more… maybe several more. — 2 years ago

9.3

Bright Meyer lemon, sea-spray salt, and unripened peach. Medium weight, noticeable acidity, and long scratchy finish. A serious dinner partner for simple Greek grilled swordfish and Cypriot sausage with scordalia. — 2 months ago

9.1

Simple filet, fully loaded baker, fresh grilled beets and carrots….ancient Carlisle Syrah… near autumnal perfection. Still enough ripe jammy dark fruit goodness… silky smooth… almost 20 years old and still bringing smiles. Thanks Mike Officer. — 4 months ago

9.5

Delightful creamy mousse with hints of toasted brioche, red fruit, and hints of baking spice. Dances across the palate with surprising grace and lightness. Long lingering finish of ripe red apple and ripe pear. Impressive but makes me worry about what asshat’s tariffs will do to price snd availability. So “Cheers” and drink it now. — 10 months ago
