Rather enjoyable — 7 years ago
One of the best wines I’ve had in a while. Cidery and almost toeing the line of bruised apple. Later morphed and really became full of stone fruit. Apricots and canned peaches. This wine is alive. Just consume it over a few hours and watch it change in the glass. — 7 years ago

Tamarind, pepper, fruit leather, tobacco and fresh! Touch of VA. Day 2 and the mouse kicks in big time! Delicious! — 9 years ago

Tart green bananas and lime. Weighty, well rounded, and quite an extraordinary chasselas. — 11 years ago
2012 wow. A big rich wine with plenty of earth and fruit and a touch of funk. Thought it would be lighter. But not complaining — 11 years ago

High acidity, light, complex aromas — 6 years ago
Upon recommendation from the wine ship guy, i opened this 2-3 hours before tasting, which was good, except for tge fact that it got too warm. I popped it back in the fridge for 20 minutes and then it was perfect. Very fruit forward and fresh with a nice structure despite its youth (2017 tasted in August 2019). All the guests loved it. — 7 years ago
Delicious. Grilled peach on the first swirl followed by deep Meier lemon and lemon zest flavors. Reminds me of PC/GC Chablis. Good — 9 years ago
Great minerality and a juicy pinot. Cuvée Silex! — 10 years ago
Reticent on both nose and palate for 1st hour. Both unfurl with air. Meat, black fruit, floral on nose. Expands in glass. Palate fills out: nice whack of salty earth, iron, meat, black cherry. Buoyed by ripe tannins and sneaky acidity. No hurry here, but a very satisfying 2006. Re-buy, enthusiastically. — 11 years ago
Nose of plums, forest floor with fresh fallen flower petals. Taste is of plums, black tea, Forest, raspberry, mushroom. I really like this. Opened up after an hour of pulling cork and really excellent after 2+. — 7 years ago
Ripe melony fruit, fairly rich but with decent acidity, very pleasant. — 7 years ago

2009. Some rich cherry liqueur from the vintage, some interesting cut grass notes in the palate along with big time fruit. Nose gives up a lot of leather--goes in different directions like Bordeaux or aged Portuguese reds with Touriga Nacional. Quite nice! — 10 years ago
Pretty nose but electrifying acid and grip. Perfect husband and wife dance party wine. — 11 years ago
