The bottle was opened about three hours prior to dinner, splash decanted and then returned to the bottle. Pours a bright ruby color. On the nose, red cherry and strawberry fruits; comes across a bit alpine? Minerals and other light herbs somewhat nod the mountains...which I guess makes some sense considering the location of Besson Vineyard (the source of the fruit, just outside of the Santa Cruz AVA). This is a Grenache endowed with undeniable structure. The acid is obvious immediately however, it takes a few hours for the tannin monster to show up. This would benefit from a handful of years on the cellar. The Besson Vineyard was planted in 1910. The folks at Birichino Winery were willing to share 1.5 tons of their fruit. 3.5 barrels produced. — 4 years ago

Night 2 notes: Just a killer Chablis. The purity and crystalline nose has citrus drizzled barely ripe peach, unbelievably sweet limestone/chalky minerality, a wee bit of damp earth. Intensely flavored yet almost weightless. Pure, very nicely integrate acidity. Great balance and nice persistence. — 5 years ago

Beach day bubbles. Bright, fresh gamay from around Julienas. Just a slight hint of bread under the juicy berries. #OBX2018 ☀️🍾 — 6 years ago

This is fun! Dried Grenache from California makes a lighter, more food friendly wine than it’s dried grape counterparts. Nice acidity, medium concentration, beautiful petal flavors. — 5 years ago

Really enjoyed this wine. Clean, smooth mouthfeel. No oak or butter, but no tartness either. Could drink this by the pool all day. — 6 years ago

Beautiful 2014 white Burg. At seven years, light gold, wafting nose, fresh melon. Dry, firm and smooth. Fully mature, more than last year, but should last and get mellower. Tasted Aug 2021. — 3 years ago
