Paired side-by-side with 2016 Lingua Franca Bunker Hill. (Same vintage, same vineyard, different producers!) the this Walter Scott won our hearts and tongues but just barely. Beautiful reduction notes on the nose - burnt matches, some grass, and candied tropical fruits. Strong lemon and orchard fruit components with good malo creaminess and oak, but bright acid and medium bodied tightness. Drank over a few hours and it kept opening with more fruit like papaya, green apple, and apricot. I wish this wouldn’t end. — 4 years ago

Solid pinot, grassy, delicious. Easy drinking. Grassy to fruit. But not too much. Great with pasta on a Tuesday. — 6 years ago
Accompanied Thanksgiving dinner. Might be one of the highest rated Chards I’ve ever tried. Enjoyed it. Well made. Matched well with our Bernaise sauce. We debated how to rate this given all the other wines served were red or dessert wines. Should be rated higher if served with other Chardonnay-appropriate dishes. — 6 years ago

This is good. The nose is gorgeous. I can smell it for days (I have been). There’s white pepper, potpourri medley (rose, lavender), red and blue fruit. The tannins are lush with present acidity that’s not overbearing. That palate has a good spice, less floral quality with good red fruit, pomegranate and red cherries. I’d say drink now, but definitely don’t wait more than a couple years (2022 ish). — 6 years ago
Tart red fruit, spice, and wonderful restraint. — 7 years ago
Ruby brick color. Aroma of sour cherries. Dusty sour cherries with a hint of sweet raspberries. Then fades to an earthiness tannic finish. Old world style! — 8 months ago
Thank you, Paul. First time tasting this. Very Meursault like. Tart green apple, lemon custard, crisp acidity, some new oak. — 3 years ago
Summer yum …. Killer gamay noir from Pinot/chard experts. We all need more light bodied summer reds that dance across your palate at cellar temp. Low ABV… light purple, cherry, berry, juicy sweetness with lively acid driving the fruit towards the finish. The bottle was gone too quickly with smash burgers and hand cut fries. Reminder to self: buy more next year, — 4 years ago
