Earthy nose, dried leaves and berries. Jammy, stewed fruits vs the fruit-forward California pinots, drier as well bit still balanced. Fantastic wine. — 7 years ago
Drinking the 2014 in 2017. Golden color with light legs. Fruit forward bouquet with hints of green Apple, and pear. Light slightly sweet flavor with low tannins. Reminds me of a sauvignon Blanc — 8 years ago

2015 White. Enjoyed it very much. — 9 years ago
Strawberry cream! Serious and complex, despite its lack of AOC status. Yet at just 11% it is fresh, elegant, and still maintains a fantastic creamy mousse mouthfeel. — 9 years ago
Stunning cherry cola sweetness, nice tannin but not overbearing. Very juicy. — 10 years ago

I was pleasantly surprised by this rose. Quite dry and crisp with a slight fruity note. I typically drink dry white wines from Austria, New Zealand, and France. I picked this up on a whim but think I will go back for a case. Great mineral characters, maybe too acid for some, but great for a summer day for those who like acid Gruner Veltliners. — 10 years ago

Quite lovely! Not as good as the Daumas Gassac last night, but very strong showing.
Refined nose of tar and earth. Cherry fruit combined with leather and just a hint of spice on the palate. Medium plus finish. Very good value at the price point.
Will be trying to acquire some! — 6 years ago
