At Arugula with Ellen and Dominique. Learned: Sancerre is located on the left bank of the Loire River, in the Loire Valley, right in the center of France (some 125 miles from Paris). Overlooking the river, the vineyards of Sancerre are spread over 7200 acres of rolling hills, with perfect conditions for cultivating vines. The same chalk famous in the White Cliffs of Dover runs down through Champagne and Chablis into Sancerre, where it is cut through by a series of small valleys, each with their own microclimate and terroir. The two grape varieties used in Sancerre are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The white wines are fresh, fruity, and elegant, the roses are delicate and subtle, and the reds are perfumed and smooth.

Bordeaux grapes make this a Bordeaux style wine, but the terroir of the Columbia River Valley make this fuller than most Bordeauxs -- lovely wine, indeed! — 10 years ago

Nose of; dark fresh florals, red roses & violets, spiced plum, raisins, fresh, dry & sour dark cherries, cherries, dry cranberries, boysenberries, a black cherry liqueur quality, warm toast, baked; black berries, blueberries, black tea, limestone and hint of black licorice. The palate is; full, round, ripe, dark and lush. Ripe & slightly sour dark cherries, blackberries, blueberries, plums, dry cranberries, raisins, boysenberries, black cherry liqueur quality, toast, black tea, limestone soil, touch of turned black earth, black tea, underbrush, softest presence of faint baking spices; cinnamon, nutmeg, clove & even fainter vanilla with suede type leather. The finish is well structured & elegance, nice balance of fruit & earth, round & lush with acidity the pours and drips over the palate. Interesting note, their Sonoma vineyard is a place where the North American continent ends abruptly in ragged, vertical cliffs and the San Andreas Fault runs directly or very near the underfoot of vineyard.

At the foot of the Solutre and Vergisson cliffs, Pouilly-Fuissé not to be confused with Pouilly Fume, is a wine from the Loire, has become famous throughout the world. Enthusiasts like its elegance and lively, silky texture. The 2012 Vintage: Pale light golden color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, with a waft of floral. The palate shows ripe apple and peach flavors with citrus notes. This medium-body wine has good balance with a smooth creamy finish, ending with mineral tones. Very Nice! — 8 years ago

My favorite Minervois vignerons deliver a wonderful, spicy, blackberries buffeted by the silence of limestone cliffs & just a hint of oceanic austerity at the clean finish. I always think of the royal purple seashells when I drink this wine... — 9 years ago

NV Pinot Noir, and I can't remember when I purchased it...4ry ago? So this is 2010, 2011 fruit. My wife and I got married at this winery. It's on the cliffs in Mendocino. The wines vary radically. This is really good and now with a touch of age a little old world in profile. Dusty cranberry and imminently drinkable — 8 years ago

The colour of golden saffron suspended in lightly heated cane-sugar water; a nose of candied blood-orange rind, apricot blossoms, dehydrated sweet white onions, German asparagus sautéed in unsalted butter, and sweaty dandelions; a gloriously ambivalent palette - it shuttles back and forth between a frantically ebullient acidity and a warming fur coat of alcohol and sweetness, with just a hint of sea salt at the very end. An amazing wine. Like drinking in large and perfectly sculpted waves crashing over craggy and desolate cliffs, whilst watching an enduring and fathomless sunset. — 9 years ago
