Comme toujours très beau, du fruit blanc, des notes très légèrement beurrées et une petite touche de bois perceptible compte tenu surement de la jeunesse du vin, bel équilibre entre une acidité bien dosée et une certaine rondeur, sans être riche, très bien mais à attendre selon moi. 90-91
As usual gorgeous wine, white fruit,a very slight buttery and oaky touch, mothing too much, nice balance between acidity and roundness, nothing too heavy, very nice but needs some time in the cellar in my humble opinion. — 3 years ago

Nose - pineapple, lemon zest, vanilla. Taste - citrus fruit and great vanilla flavor, little bit of caramel. Full bodied, with a good balance. Really good! — 4 years ago
A lovely Chardonnay! Semi-dry with nose of vanilla and mango. This is my new go-to Chard! — 5 years ago
Loving this rich, decadent example. Lots of cellaring runway ahead.
Renovation update - 2nd flight of stairs in, and lighting is complete. Officially, we are bankrupt 😔 — 5 years ago
Excellent chenin from Cali that is very true to the grape, citrus fruits and zest, florals, chipped rock minerality, and the telltale lanolin that classic chenin will usually have. Great acidity, med/med+, nose and med+ palate and finish. Top domestic chenin! — 2 years ago

Tres beau sauternes! En demi bouteille...il a perdu le côté petrolé qui me fait pas tripper....et on a tout simplement un beau sucre. Tire d éponge, miel, abricot confit et belle texture sans sensation de lourdeur. Bravo!

Easter dinner — 3 years ago
My father has a case of these 1983 BV in his father’s wine collection. Have sat undisturbed for a few decades since my grandfather passed. Opened this for Easter dinner if braised lamb shanks. Had some cork breakage but decanted and let it breathe… it was quite delicious! Looking forward to drinking the rest of his collection! — 3 years ago
Grapey and somewhat lacking in complexity/tannins. Tried it against a 2018 b cellars merlot and it didn’t match up well. — 4 years ago
Dark fruit, meaty slightly, some red peppers too. Palate is soft for a young Alliet, open knit, nice fruit and tannins that are approchable, the balance is good and the elegance is there already.
Beau vin très ouvert et assez approchable déjà, fruits noirs, poivrons rouges et un peu viandeux mais à peine. Bel équilibre et des tannins agréables déjà en jeunesse, très bien. — 4 years ago
Fantastic, was perfect with fried chicken — 6 years ago

5/2024. Very nice blend. Full of flavor. Sits well on the palate. Good finish. Paired well with the grilled bone in pork chop at Mr. Friendly’s. — a year ago
