Looking for a wine to go with the Thanksgiving meal? This Gamay will work perfectly with the array of dueling dishes on the table. (Put a couple away in the cellar and take another look around '19. You'll think you're a genius.) — 9 years ago
Very sour, so give it a couple of tastes, and reap the rewards of the subtle apricot. Probably best not to look up what the name means till later. — 9 years ago
Fantastic Saumur champigny. Dark cherry with pleasant acidity. — 9 years ago

Very sweet. Wonderful to drink, especially in a mimosa — 10 years ago
This is a wine nerd's wine. Smells of a dark blond roux. Floral yet mellow. Not huge on the fruit. Would never pay the money for it, but fun to sip on. — 11 years ago
Juicy and acid with great body. Very sipable. A plonk find — 8 years ago
Practically perfect. Fruit like a NV cuvée with a beautiful savory note. Balanced, precise, exceptional. — 8 years ago
With truffled sweetbreads. Oh so good. — 9 years ago
Could drink this every day. Great table wine.

Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 10 years ago
Mmmmm silky mud. My favorite way to have my wine. — 11 years ago

At 10% alcohol--with I'm guessing 60+ g residuals--the last 9 years leave an impression that is both sweetly-floral and quenching. Not sweet enough to be sticky on the palette, this is akin to peach honeysuckle sherbet. If you're lucky to have one of these tucked away, enjoy it on a bluebird mountain day. — 9 years ago
Light touch of oak, Chenin, Chardonnay delicious when the sun is out! — 10 years ago
Bringing out the good stuff now that Bess can drink again. — 10 years ago
