I’ve recently had the 2018. This 2021 did not show as well. Perhaps, better with a bit more evolution as was the case with their 18. I would enjoy tasting this again in a few years. Think better things lie ahead.

2019 vintage. Medium body. Prominent dark fruit focus. Punchy where it needs to be. Supple elsewhere. 880 cases made. 04.09.25. — a month ago

Well-balanced Chardonnay with green apple, pear, and crispness. Very enjoyable mix of fruit flavors and acidity. — 2 months ago

This wine had excellent dark fruit and tannins that maintain some grip and structure. You can tell this is mountain fruit.

Drank over 3 nights with argon preservation in the fridge.

Paired very well with manchego and also with chili.

Purchased at the winery on my single visit there, had gone to pick up the Syrah, and was very taken with this tiny production Mondeuse. Rich, but not heavy, rustic in some ways, but amazing “mountain fruit” depth and great acidity which largely hides the structure and tannins, long, lingering finish, needs a fair amount of cellaring, though beautiful tonight!! — 15 days ago

2014 vintage. Heavy bod. Darker than the liquid that pours out during your thrice postponed, oil change. Easy to slip into with some back-end, palate boxing kerfuffle. If decade-old, $$ Napa Malbec moved the needle, this would rule the roost. 03.19.25. — 2 months ago

Still quite dark purple-red color, nose is quite closed, some mineral, iodine and black pepper aromas, red and black fruits which taste quite primary and youthful, great acid balance, structure shows in the long, lingering finish, I’d guess 10-15 more years of further aging on this to maturity, but awfully great tonight!! — a month ago
