We had the 2013 Vintage on 2/21-22/20. Bright red fruit on the bouquet. Tart cherry, strawberry and pomegranate on the palate. Bright and acidic. Good but not great. — 4 years ago

Taut, best chilled but just a tick above room temp. Just crushed peppercorns on the nose & entry. Wild berries. Yum. — 7 years ago

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce. — 8 years ago

A favorite winery of mine... This one needs a little more bottle age, or a splash decant... A muted nose opened to crisp honeycomb apple, ginger root, and a toasty brioche character. Feels like bit of lees influence too. Round, layered, and soft on the palate with yellow apple, pear and melon rind. Bright acidity shines on the mid-palate with a limestone crouch to the finish. Hold this for a few more years. — 5 years ago

Complexity over 2 days. Initially more a fruit bomb (think Aussie Shiraz). Day 2 brought smokey meat and a Côte-Rotie clone! Super interesting — 10 years ago

Soft notes of mocha and light coffee roast with gentle dusty tannins an earthy core and light red fruit mingling with smoked meat. The finish is peppery but elegant — 5 years ago

Smooth, right degree of ML. Look out of any window, any evening, any day.
You'll always be grateful for what La Fenetre does with Bien Nacido Chardonnay, Block 11 and "i" Block.

Apologies to Jerry. I wish that I was drinking with him as wel as the rest of you. This one helps me to pretend. — 10 years ago
