'07 vintage - like the others said - burns a bit on the back end - some fruit; seems to get better with more time. — 9 years ago

I am not big on white wines but this one surprised me. It has a much fuller flavor than most whites with a light finish. I enjoyed it. — 10 years ago

This is one of those beefy, velvety pinots that has a richer, fuller body than most. Because of that, I really like it. If you like soft lush wines, you will too. This is a nice wine. — 10 years ago

Fuller than the 2012. The locals like the 2011 vintage a lot. Extra sweetness ripeness and weight. Easy to drink now but with a great future. Look out for this. — 11 years ago

Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 11 years ago

An intriguing dried herb nuance along with lime/ lemon. Lovely fruit in the fuller spectrum. Excellent Riesling with a 5+ year future. 17.5. — 11 years ago

This took about 10 minutes from being opened to start showing a rich strawberry and a very showy mineral nose. A nice juxtaposition from the riper and fuller 2015. This is lean and restrained. Funky and nice as always. I have a mag I think I will keep another 2 years. — 8 years ago

Gorgeous color. 14.2% alc. Rich red fruits, with chocolate and a darker fruit undertone. Almost sweet tasting. Long finish, drinking really well at this point. Almost drinks like a "cross" between RRV and Sonoma Coast. A superb example of California Pinot Noir, esp if you like a fuller, richer style. — 10 years ago

2nd wine of KWN. Cherry, Christmas spice and cola. Fruit-forward and fuller-bodied. Fantastic, but lacking some secondary flavor profiles. Wine #4. — 10 years ago

Chablis meets Meursault with a fuller lean into each Chablis side. The most elegant of the 3 whites Tasted today including 2012 Napa Valley White Blend and 2012 Ribolla Gialla. Full on minerality and fluidly intense acids. Excellent on its own, should be epic with a sole meuniere or butter poached lobster. — 11 years ago

When I tasted this wine fresh at the UGC in Bordeaux, it was one of the wines of the day. However, I must confess it was one of over a hundred wines I tasted that day. This is my first taste of it since then. Being an 04, it will forever be overshadowed by the 05 vintage. The wine while evolving nicely is still a fairly long way from being ready. Right now, it needs food/grilled meat to bring it to a fuller life. The 04 is; dry blackberries, spiced black plum, dark cherries, violets, decayed floral bouquet, mocha chocolate, dry herbs, mint, menthol, strong leather, lots of graphite, tar, tobacco with ash, dry dark soil, dry pebbles, volcanic minerals, dry stems & big spice. The structure and tannins are still big. The fruit and earth are only beginning to come into balance and still need a lot of evolutionary work. The length is still somewhat austere but long. The acidity is a short of what is required. The finish is sticky big dry tannins, dry dark cassis, mocha chocolate, big spice, dry herbs but has it's pleasure. The 04 needs another 8-10 years before it delivers on any of it's early preconceived expectations. However, this wine has the potential to be much more than it has tonight. — 9 years ago

Pure Chablis. All the classic character-lemon, limestone minerality, but a fuller mouthfeel than most producers. Very impressed. — 11 years ago
