A very nice wine from an over-looked vintage in northern CA.
Fading in the glass after 1 hour so it is time to drink up. — 11 years ago

In the zone. Nose is confectionery city with all types of citrus and apricot. Wow the brown sugar confection is not to be messed with. A stunning nose. Some dried honey as well. Palate is super pure and crisp with wonderful freshness, elegance and delicate, cleansing acidity. Sappy and so so pure. Great, delicate concentration and such a nimble wine. Wonderful and so so long. After some air it’s crazy aromatic. Stunning. Superbly mineral now and just wafting. — 4 years ago
Je suis un fan de muscadet. Pas de ces versions acides et étriquées à vous détartrer ce qu’il vous reste d’émail aux dents, non. Plutôt de ces envolées fluides, légères, agiles et admirablement tracées livrées par un melon de bourgogne traité aux petits oignons. À celui-ci s’ajoutent texture saline et densité qui allonge la finale. Top ! — 5 years ago
Excellent! The palate goes on and on. Bold fruit, darker, but also a lightness that makes this sing. — 7 years ago
Rich and nutty. Good for pasta with lobster! — 9 years ago
Yes I'm buzzed but this cider is amazing. Delicate with burnt marshmallow and can smell the dried pear — 10 years ago

Incredibly layered stuff, with teeth-staining minerality, balanced by rich fruit flavors, bordering on tropical with plenty of grilled lemon juiciness in reserve. Never-ending finish with a complex tannic grip providing lift and energy. Thru 2020, at least. — 11 years ago

Solid wine. Comes across very fruity and smooth. Complexity and tannins are faded. Really nice fruit. Highly enjoyable with food or on its own. — a year ago
