Proper Burgundy. Not the most expressive, but good mineral note and flinty to go along with tangy citrus, orange peel and baked apple. Digging it — 10 years ago

Red cherries, wet gravel, flowers, minerals. Delicious on a rainy day. Acidity was a little bit much in the end. — 11 years ago

Might be too soft, forward and fruity for some but probably not for the hedonists. Rich, full, mouth-coating texture. Alc. noticeably warm though short of hot. A Bargaindy, relatively speaking. — 10 years ago

Nicely done, though there's a smokey meaty quality that takes a way from the prettiness I look for in Volnay. That being said, it's well put together — 10 years ago

Somewhat vegetal to start with with a lot of sour and bitter notes. Tasted like cranberry juice. Showed more typical pinot characteristics as it developed. Very appetizing wine - should pair well with turkey. — 10 years ago

Loved this wine! Was given to me as a gift from a customer visiting from France earlier this year. Lots of juicy red berries and well balanced. Paired it with homemade pizza and shared with my wife. It was a great night — 10 years ago

Wayfarer Vineyard

10

This wine emits a pale yellow-green silver glow. Wayfarer Vineyard’s cool coastal influence is evident in the wine’s complex aromatics, layered texture and impeccable balance. An interplay of citrus, orange blossom, Asian pear, white peach and flinty aromatics echoes and expands on the palate. Flavors are lifted and extended by acidity that washes over the sumptuous structure framing the expansive mid-palate. A finish of tangerine and acacia with hints of roasted almond and honeysuckle lingers in the mouth. Generous and complex, this wine will continue to evolve and open. Cellar 5-8+ years.

Waiting for the perfect moment to harvest was essential in achieving aromatic intensity while maintaining the wine’s buoyant acidity. We hand-harvested in pre-dawn hours to ensure firm, cool clusters were delivered to the winery. After gentle whole-cluster pressing, the wine settled for 12 to 24 hours followed by carefully-monitored racking. Our 2012 barrel program utilized 65% new French oak at medium toast levels. Cooperages include Damy, Francois Freres, Remond and Latour. Alcoholic fermentation was slow as guided by native yeasts, and lees were stirred often until malolactic fermentation was fully completed. The wine aged in barrel for 15 months and was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
