A Régnié which expresses itself on the side of black cherries, kirsch, or Plum Eau de vie. The nose is very expressive and counterbalances a very dry character in the mouth, almost salty. Aerial, accurate. To drink.
Note revised upwards, at D+1 because it held up admirably and even opened up to additional nuances. A sincere wine. Really well done.

Note revue à la hausse, à J+1 car il a admirablement tenu et s’est même ouvert sur des nuances supplémentaires. Un vin sincère. Vraiment bien fait. — 3 years ago

17.5 maybe my best Amarone. Deep, full, long, soft but enough acidity. Had half the bottle 2 weeks ago, vacuumed, went abroad, back today and it has held up brilliantly. Note: 16% — 6 years ago

9.2

Bit of cranberry and under-ripe strawberry on the nose. Hint of rocks in the rain. Flavors are juicy and crisp. Very southern Rhône styled. Minerality and red pepper. Blood orange. Acids and tannins come together for a harmonious balance. Not a classic mushroom and berry Syrah, but very nice drinking foothill red. — 8 years ago

This beautiful cab dominant blend (15% merlot) promises to be one of their best vintages in a long while. Dark fruits with a depth of flavor uncharacteristic for an only slightly big medium-bodied wine. Playfully spicy with a good tannic core. This got better each day over a 5 day timeframe. This is gonna be a great wine in 5 years. — 3 years ago

For the price as well as taste. Very good. Open and let it breath for about 25-35 minutes. Well worth the wait. — 6 years ago

Amazing young Italian wine. Rich, a little sweet, but full of depth and complexity. Licorice and Christmas cake. — 8 years ago

Awesome! Dry and mineral. Lingering notes of iron. Really opened nicely over the 2 hours. We had it in the decanter. Unfortunately I was working in my office while Tammy sat next to the decanter...... so my rating is challenged with the fact I had very little to taste 😳 — 9 years ago

9.5

The most intriguing white I’ve had all year.
Kind of reminds me of Simone Palette but with way more going on. The nose is utterly intoxicating. It is rich and voluminous but the streak of minerality keep it fresh AF. Also kind of reminds me of Domino Aguila Blanco. Just outstanding. I want more!!!!!!! — 3 years ago

Textural, layered, red-fruited; weight of a light red. One of the best rosés in the world 😋 — 4 years ago

Winter rosé! Full, fresh, concentrated, juicy red berry fruit, bright acid, mineral and a bit of funk on the finish. Really tasty. Ok fine there's a rosé I like — 9 years ago
