9.1

Medium gold in the glass. Reticent nose, round malo richness on the palate. Ripe pear and sweet red apple notes.., just enough acid to keep in interesting. Riper that I usually expect from Oregon at 14.2... this is no Chablis! Wine works well with food , but more reminiscent of Sonoma than Willamette. — 6 years ago

Balanced Cabernet Sauvignon from Dave Matthews, light with grape flavor and low acid and tannin, at Dirty Water Pizza Co. In Back Bay, Boston — 7 years ago

9.3

Intensely perfumed nose of pine and redwood with spiced red fruits, a bit of a nervous energy that still needs to settle especially if sipping without food. On the palate the red fruit is sappy and sweet with good acidity though the pine and spice keep it structured. Different food makes it show differently but not really toward the fresh juicy direction like the Soberanes. Getting to know the vineyard and feels like a cold weather fall and winter wine. Very unique wine from a unique site. — 7 years ago

Very very light and diluted straw color. Lemon & honeysuckle on the nose. Palate is a bit heavier than I anticipated. Plenty of lemon citrus, white peach, nectarine, some green melon, underripe green pear, and some mineral notes. Tart, but lingers on the palate. I dislike using this word but it’s very quaffable, as they say 🙃. A crowd pleaser. — 5 years ago

This was a bit of a shocker. For $26 I expected some passable sparkling wine, on the order of J Cuvee 20. What we got was a gorgeous nose that leapt from the bottle with grilled pear. Creamy bubbles nearing what a fine champagne can do, a perfect, full but not syrupy mouth feel, and a finish that lasts about a minute, taking you on a tour of the grapes that went into the bottle. Stood up to bacon, mild cheddar, smoked Gouda and brie, and loved her bed goat cheese and manchego. This is damn good wine. — 9 years ago

This wine spends 9 years on the lees 70/30 Pinot noir and Chardonnay. This is all grand cru. A good amount of nutty a character with rich tree fruit. A big and rich wine with a good amount of pear and a host of nutty any yeasty character. Finish 50+. Most excellent+ — 11 years ago

Pale straw color. On the nose, young, unripened apple and citrus. On the palate, young, unripened apple, citrus, lots of lemon, acidity still potent, transitioning to a fullness, butteriness with hints of oak and a very long finish of ripened apple, lemon, ripened pear and yeasts. — 5 years ago

Starting the long Labor Day weekend in Big Sur the right way with a little N/V Krug Grande Cuvée. @Nepenthe

Happy Labor Day weekend all! 🍾🥂

Noses reveals; heavy bruised red apple, Bosc pear, overripe pineapple, lemon meringue, tropical melons, lime zest, white spice, sea fossils, deep crisp chalkiness, grey volcanics, yeast & bread dough, nougat, baguette crust, limestone, caramel notes, cream, vanillin framed in yellow lilies, white & spring flowers & mixed greens.

The palate is, ripe, lush, fresh and lively. The mouthfeel all Krug beautiful. Bruised red & golden apple with hints of cider, Bosc pear, overripe pineapple, lemon meringue, tropical melons, white stone fruits, lime zest/candy, white spice, sea fossils, crisp chalkiness, grey volcanics, yeast & bread dough, nougat, baguette crust, limestone, caramel notes, cream, cream soda, vanillin framed in yellow lilies, spring flowers & mixed greens. The acidity is near perfect. The long, elegant, well knitted & balanced finish is gentle until the long set when you get a full presence of white spice and minerality that persists for minutes.

This bottle was composed around 2011 and is made from over 120 different wines that span over 10 years. It is 47% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay & 17% Pinot Meunier. — 5 years ago
