2016 vintage. Last tasted 5.4.24 (9.6) and 2.10.23 (9.6). Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes. Still kicking serious assets and ignoring names. Such a woofer. Arrive with respects or leave on a stretcher. Your choice. 3.27.26 — 4 days ago
2021 vintage. Quadruple decanted since the blender method wasn't an option. Seemed unfined and unfiltered with some überfine, powdery sediment. Chunky. Rustic. Tasted after 15 minutes, 1.25 hours and 3 hours. Some definite beauty and the beast moments. First time with this producer but would tackle again. 3.27.26. — 4 days ago
2021 vintage. PNP. Initially fleshy. Started to thin out slightly after 45 minutes open with a welcomed thread of astringent accompaniments. Only Pinot I've had in 35 years from the Sanford and Benedict Vineyard that was more focused on the fruit aspects vs the spice/structure/tannins. 3.28.26. — 3 days ago
2023 vintage. Resto cost $14.50 or so per bottle. Excellent value for a step above entry-level red Bordeaux. Structure, fruit and purpose. 3.27.26. — 4 days ago
2024 vintage. Hell's Kitchen (sink) indeed. 7 different white grapes included. Light medium/medium body with spicy under and overtones. Playful but not messing around. 3.26.26. — 5 days ago
2024 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Floral, perfumed, delicate fruits, earth/minerals. Always such a lovely, alt-white wine for shellfish, poultry, fish. salads or simply sipping. 3.27.26. — 4 days ago
NV. Crispy here and there with rounded features within. Nice baseline of acidity thumping throughout. Pretty in places. 3.27.26. — 4 days ago
2017 vintage. Opened two bottles for the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) and decanted both. Small amount of sed observed in both bottles. Tasted after 15 minutes and 2 hours. Medium body with medium heavy body intensity. Cinnamon, fresh mud, dark plum, allspice and tobacco coming through loud and clear. It was two bottles of this for a group of 9 or one bottle of 2019 Rostaing La Viallière for the same group... choices...3.27.26. — 4 days ago
