Nose is very saline. Some hazelnuts.

Palate is rich. No longer oaky (integrated) but it’s not bashful. Lovely salinity. Very Good balance for a rich wine.


I need to have this with chicken with cream sauce and morels.


This is ready to drink.

Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic. — 4 years ago

Family-owned and operated started in 1999 by Dr John and Karen Bergstrom. Dark Ruby with fresh ripe berry fruit flavors with floral spice notes. On the palate, cherry and raspberry flavors with complex herb and citrus notes. Fine tannins on long finish ending with slight earthy character. Drink now while it’s fresh, will benefit from short-term aging. — 6 years ago

Naked wines. Really liked it, full bodied and very fruity. Perfect with steak. Not particularly complex but solid to our big red palate — 6 years ago

Nose is literally insane. So complex and elite. Flowers, smoke and so much aromatic stuff. Silky, smooth, complex, juicy and serene and so so sexy. Just all class. — 3 years ago

Lovely aromas of cherry, minerals (limestone) cherry flower and some hints of red licorice. Very bright nose and very lifted. Palate is juicy and acid driven with terrific energy and wonderful driving minerality. Slight reductive funk on the nose blows off very quickly. A pretty wine and drinking well now. Very tangy and fresh with pretty tannins that are ripe. Like many 17’s this is gorgeously skinny. — 4 years ago

"Mahi is long enough for real substance without that awful syrupy quality so common in other whites. There's a note in there that some describe is funk, but we'd call grassy." According to Karen MacNeil "New Zealand Sauvignon blancs have no parallel in the world." — 6 years ago

Family-owned and operated artisan producer of wine, started in 1999 by Dr John and Karen Bergstrom. Had a bottle year ago, dark red with fresh berry fruit flavors with a bit of earthy spice notes. On the palate, cherry and raspberry flavors with complex herb spice notes. Fine tannins on lingering finish ending with enticing earthy character. Aged well, very nice Pinot. — 7 years ago

Hazelnut, hickory smoke and so much density, floral, iodine, palate is so chewy and dense. Wow acids and complexity are insane and very juicy. Insane finish and so so bright and high toned. — 3 years ago

Been 3 years. Nose is wide open. Sappy red and black cherries and a firm Pommard stoniness. Floral, meaty and layered. Really aromatic and nice. Heaps better than 3 years ago. Palate has high acid, ripe and juicy but firm tannins, dark black cherry fruit but needs air as 16 has mega low yields and many serious wines. This being one of them. Nose picking up some nice earthy complexity. Really chewy and dense with just exhilarating and confectionary fruit. Needs air but a solid 9.3 now. — 3 years ago
