Wow! 2019 was sitch a great year, and this wine, from an area abutting Chateauneuf du Pape, is an absolute steal. All the approachability of a great GSM but made with great restraint: allowing the fruit to really speak for itself. Grab a couple of bottles; you’ll be very happy you did! — 7 months ago

First time drinking Xavier’s wines and I’m really impressed. Stone fruit, apricot, peach, pineapple, white flowers...and continues to open with air and comes up to temp. Really delicious and reminds me a bit of Sandlands Chenin. — 5 years ago

Les Folatieres is absolutely a magical vineyard. Energy of the site completely overtaking any wine in the glass. So great hard to put into words the amount of energy and ethereal structure is trapped in here. Thankful to have a few bottles 🙏🏼 — 4 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
