Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 11 years ago
This was the last of the ten wineries we visited. We were “done”. We bought a few bottles and opened the first a while later and it was SO GOOD! Better than we remembered. This BC Bordeaux (Meritage) blend of Merlot, Cab Sauv, Malbec & Cab Franc. BC was impressive. — 7 years ago

Wanted to drink this after listening to Dominique’s IDTT interview. Found the best nationally priced bottle in Pasadena and it showed really nicely, particularly after being open for something like 4 hours. I like his winemaking approach here, which doesn’t seem to be about elevating it beyond its provenance. It’s a delicious, mineral wine that would crush with shellfish and was lovely in the afternoon along with The Trip to Spain. — 8 years ago
100% Gamay.
Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.
The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.
Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.
Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 9 years ago

Absolutely amazing wine for the price. Liquified yellow peaches and noble rot funk. — 10 years ago
Nutty, orange rind, and chocolate. M+ acid and M sweetness. M+ intensity. On the palate, raisin, dried fruit, cherry, caramel and orange. Long finish. — 10 years ago

Plum licorice nose. Dark red. Cherry 🍒, touch of licorice and raspberry. A profound Bourgogne from an excellent vintage which tastes like a Premier Cru. Excellent and a great value. From the Meritage in Encinitas. Drink now or keep for 4 years give or take. — 8 years ago

Reddish ruby with a little brown. Almost opaque. Pure nose of black cherry, mint, herbs, cola. Incredibly rich and round in the mouth. Long finish. Guessed old Heitz Martha's Vineyard. I think that's a complement to both. Opened 5 hrs in advance and then drunk over 4 more hours, this became more refined with time. Kind of angular versus the more opulent 45 Mouton. Parker's favorite wine the legendary 47 Cheval Blanc. What a treat to compare the two side by side. I think the 45 Mouton wins at the wire tho. — 10 years ago
Pear, tart apple, slight bit of nutty salinity. Punching way above its weight class! Aww yeeeahhh — 11 years ago
Reasonably priced in Pennsylvania. Good drinkable wine if you like fuller bodied reds. Will be getting a couple more bottles. — 11 years ago
