If i tasted this blind, I might’ve called a wild farmhouse ale. The Brett really works well, balancing the juicy fruit. — 2 years ago

This is a well made chard AND from the North Fork that ages nicely and really shines with food, like salmon and roasted tomatoes. Nose of ripe cantaloupe, bee pollen, white flowers, fennel. Really nice mouth feel, good weight, with good acidity. The palate is similar to the nose with added honey crisp apple, not sweet, and marzipan. I’ll need to get more, but maybe will see how it holds up longer. — 2 years ago
A moderately expressive nose with white orchard fruit, some floral scents, bee wax and a touch of mint. The palate is amazing, complete, so well balanced, fine, elegant, classy and yet round and rich with just good backbone to go woth that width and that fullness, a very long delicious finish but mostly what impressed me the most is that texture, so envelopping, classy and perfect. I note generally on the low side and don’t give 94 too often but this is definitely the case.
Un nez moyennement expressif avec des notes de fruits blancs, de menthe, un petit côté floral et cure d’abeille. La bouche est magnifique, un équilibre exemplaire entre cette tension contenue, cette rondeur et richesse enveloppante sans être lourde, un vin plein, fin et riche à la fois, mais c’est surtout cette texture qui m’a séduite et m’a impressionné, quelle classe, une très longue finale savoureuse vient couronner le tout. Je note assez bas généralement mais 93 ou 94 sans doute.

Surprisingly delicious. I was expecting to make this into a sangria or wine-based cocktail, but it ended up being closer to a traditional rosé than a fruit wine. It paired nicely with lasagna and pastas with tomato-based sauce. Berry notes are well complemented by the rhubarb, making it off dry instead of sweet — a year ago
This is very elegant and complex, like most Barsacs is lighter weight than Sauternes and much more floral. Also has the tell tale honey and bee wax notes as well as lemon zest. Its terrific now and there is no rush to enjoy it. Enthusiastically recommended. — 3 years ago

Orange color, almost apple juice. Has a wax and honey scent, along with smoked apple skin and a bouquet of wildflowers. Semi-sweet, with some orange blossom flavors and a sticky thick texture, but not cloying or overpowering. Definitely some barrel aging in this. Really pleasant with a slight chill and would pair well with some smoked BBQ or spicy Asian food. — 8 months ago
