One of the better wines we have tried in northern Michigan - bright flavors of cherry and strawberry. November 2020. — 5 years ago
A very nice Pommard. Decanted for 4 hours at the suggestion of the fine folks at Chambers St. Layers of aromatics reveal currant, plum, and earth / leather. Lots of dark cherry on the palate. Very complete with a long finish with some great acidity. Tannins certainly there and even after 4 hours a touch of oak is faintly evident, but not in a bad way. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 6 years ago

Not a rosé for the faint of heart. Saignée and 100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir this has plenty of red fruit and minerality. Robust and captivating with food. — 7 years ago
Fabulous! Had with a French classic Boeuf Bourguignon. Stuttgart 2008. Bold and smooth. — 8 years ago
Rich but not over the top and not too revealing on the nose or palate. Tasty nonetheless. Maybe a little maturity to settle in. — 4 years ago
Fresh lemon and Creme Fraiche. Sea salt, fresh herbs, wet stone, and fleshy ripe yellow apple. Touch of sweet spices, cream, and a slight hint of vanilla on the long enjoyable finish. 15% new oak. Elevated acidity, medium body, elevated intensity. Round and creamy mouthfeel. — 6 years ago

Nose of opulent plum, blueberry, dark cherry, wet stone, licorice, and (slightly) sweet vanilla. Medium concentration. Medium+ intensity on the palate (and nose). More minerality and violet notes coming through on the palate. Medium acidity, medium+ tannins, and medium+ alcohol. Medium+ finish. 15% new oak. — 6 years ago
The two Bordeaux varieties and one from Burgundy give the wine its characteristics - smoke and spice from the Merlot, full fruit and herbs from the Cab Franc and a tart finish from the Pinot. The Pinot shows much more than 1% might suggest. Smoke, herbs and red fruit are abundant, but the Pinotesque notes of cola and black tea deliver a solid smack. Cool climate rings true here in a delightful wine. — 6 years ago
