Has the apricot, unripe stone fruit flavors. Sweet Meyer lemon and orange. Nice citrus notes. Chalkboard. Slate minerals, slopes like the crumbling slate. Bone dry. The acid keeps this thing going for a while. — 8 years ago

La Croix du Roy Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Denser palate expression, loads of fruit in a medium flavor intensity. This is all about a texture of viscous body versus tense acidity. Not your typical seashell Sancerre, curious about the soils. Usually kimmeridgian or chalkboard matbe more limestone with less chalk? — 9 years ago

Nicole's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

The color of our 2010 Nicole’s Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir has the appearance of a dark chalkboard and aromas of cocoa and cinnamon. Elegant spices, cherry compote, and a touch of earthiness are wrapped in a toasty caramel and vanilla finish. Try this wine with wild game, such as venison, bison burgers, herb-roasted wild pig, or grilled salmon. Try with a roasted loin of lamb coated with olive oil and lightly salted. — 10 years ago
