Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, spice, floral and citrus adding some lees notes, aged in French oak (30% new) for 14 months. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & apricot with lemon citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty notes. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with lively acidity, ending with fruit and wet stone mineral character. Nice! Drink now! Pair this with chicken or seafood dish. — 2 years ago

It’s a very rich style chardonnay, but it’s unapologetically delicious. Professional scores have it as high as 97 and the purity of fruit along with the deft use of french oak and balanced acidity are certainly deserving. It strikes a nice balance even with everything amped up and an alcohol level of 14.6%. Only 326 cases made, if you see a bottle in the wild drink it! — 6 years ago

At 24 years of age this is youthful and vital with a rich ridge of stone fruit braced by range citrus acid and a lingering, slightly mineral finish. Delightful. — 2 years ago

Aerate at least an hour, if you are not used to natural wines. Beautiful dark dress. Rich Malbec nose: plum-like black fruits, fatty animal notes of leather, floral and herbaceous touches. Palate: fresh and juicy, supple with volume. The first sips suggest a short wine; but finely chopped tannins unfold and well with a return to fresh fruit. A very fine thirst-quenching wine, both accessible and deceptively simple.

Aérer au moins une heure, si vous n’êtes pas habitués des vins natures. Belle robe sombre. Nez riche de Malbec: fruits noirs type Prune, notes grasses animales de cuirs, touches florales et herbacées. Bouche: fraîche et juteuse, souple avec du volume. Les premières gorgées laissent croire à un vin court; mais des tanins finement ciselés se déploient et bien avec un retour sur les fruits frais. Très beau vin de soif, à la fois accessible, et faussement simple. — 5 years ago

Green pepper, graphite and tobacco on the nose. Spice, raspberry, pencil shavings and leather on the palate. A little on the high end of alcohol, but it burned off a bit on the second day. — 5 years ago

Light bodied Zin. Dark Cherry and dried herbs on the nose. Cherry and a hint of black pepper and baking spice on the finish. Silky texture. Not your typical Zinfandel. More like a CDP. — 6 years ago
