Fantastic stuff, but not the best QPR. — 9 years ago
Honeyed citrus and salted caramel on the nose. Insane concentration and length on the palate with pinpoint acidity. Lemon meringue, pineapple, honey, and well integrated toasty oak. — 10 years ago

Crisp yet milder than others in the region. There is a citrus flavoring that is toned down with the fruits of melon and passion fruit. Nose is full of tropical fruit flavors. — 12 years ago
Very fresh wine with aromas of green pepper, passion fruit, lychee, and grass.
In taste fresh, limes, passion fruit, grass green pepper — 9 years ago
Super bright, clear wine, lighter bodied. Wonderful melon, lemongrass, passion fruit and white pepper nose. Green melon, passion fruit, peach, ginger and some herb notes I'm struggling to identify beyond the lemon grass, maybe tomato leaf? Passion fruit comes through nicely on the finish. Really pleased with this one! — 9 years ago

Crisp and savory small estate Cabernet Franc from 50 year old vines. The amazing Peter Mahan does it again. — 11 years ago

The color appears on the lighter side of what I would expect from a Rhone syrah. Ruby, quite transparent but no bricking yet. The wine airs well with a lot of flowery characters - rose petal, violet, and a slight hint of vine stem. Structurally in tact at 4 years of age. Medium plus acidity and tannin. Elegant with, again, floral showing on the palate backed by red cherry, some earthy, and mushroomy notes as well as slight meatiness. Good quaffable Saint Joseph that would do probably better with 4-5 years more of cellaring time. 89+ — 9 years ago
So much passion fruit. I mean, I'd guess this is fermented passion fruit juice, over the top pith, passion fruit, rind....but I love it...in small doses. — 10 years ago
Apple and pear on the nose, nice acidity on the mouth, tastes of pineapple and guava. Nice mineral finish — 10 years ago
This is a beautiful bottle of bubbles. The terroir sings, it is racy and delicious. This bottle entirely from the 2011 vintage made with 65% Pinot meunièr, 20% Pinot noir, and 15% Chardonnay is an Extra Brut with 3.5g dosage/l. — 11 years ago
Explosive citrus and passion fruit. Good weight and perfectly balanced. — 11 years ago

Another Wine Club meeting come and gone. This time we had some exceptional selections that were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Speaking of enjoyment, there are few things more enjoyable than sharing good wine with good friends. This is one reason why Wine Club is a tradition that we will strive to preserve for many years to come. — 9 years ago
