Initially you get apples, gooseberries and lemon on the nose then comes vanilla and elderflower. The initial taste was subtle gooseberries and hazel nuts with a spoon full of creme fresh. The finish is short but beautiful and you are left with a faint taste of vanilla. — 10 years ago

A standard bearer for modern Crozes-Hermitage. Baked blueberry pie, purple flowers, corn meal, tobacco leaf, and crushed rock. Spicy, witch hazel, and plenty of grip on the palate. Really delicious vintage! — 10 years ago

This is a soft and beautiful wine from a relatively unknown grape. It took me a little by storm. I love a good surprise in the wine world and this has given it to me.
Initial nose is of melons and apples with a little citrus zest.
The taste is delicate and slightly floral, I am thinking elderflower. But as it developed there is hazel nuts and a little bit of smoked salmon. It has a long finish for such a light wine.
I love it. — 10 years ago

Was going offer up expert descriptors for my tasting notes, since not a peer or professional has ever reviewed a single vintage of this wine on Delectable, but then found out Heart already expressed all I have to say in "These Dreams".
The ballad paints a perfect picture of me sipping this Chardonnay....inconsolably weeping to the entire catalogue of Vince Vaughn's and Adam Sandler's romantic comedies.... eating sausage alone, staining my sheets with tears.
Hazel-nuts! — 8 years ago
This is a skin changer wine: one minute later smell completely different: dark plum, roasted hazel nuts, slightly stale white ground pepper, pencil shavings, cassis, burning candles, leather. Med body, nice length, med tannins. Prunes, touch cinnamon, laurel. Leather violets cherry palate. Followed by oat, cherry, plum. Hibiscus and tobacco in empty glass — 9 years ago
