it’s like Grand Cru Chablis except it’s Chenin. Smells like super great Dauvissat initially. Green Apple and tons of mineral. One of those wines that smells stuffed to the gills just by the nose, but you know it is holding out. Almost some green pea as well. No wax. No almonds. Clean nuts if that makes sense. This is new wavey Chenin like Guiberteau. Palate is just electric but is more Chenin than the nose with its feral fruit energy and vibe but also it has a Rieslingesque cleanliness to it. Dirty Chenin is one of my pet peeves. This is clan as a whistle. Like a cross between Guiberteau and Dauvissat. Dense, chewy, structured and deep. So clean and pure and length that does not quit. What poise and structure. But a lovely finesse and breed as well. This is sappy and dense as can be and one can crunch through the structure. Stunning purity and what a wonderful new expression of Chenin. Saumur is the place. — 8 years ago

Sweet and cinnamon spice, with that oak note. — 10 years ago
Clean as a whistle and appreciated for waking up my haggard palate. Day-bright and clear. Grapefruit pith, lime leaf, and hard lemon candy on the nose. Kiwifruit, tart green apple, lychee, papaya, and lush acid. Classic Marlby SB. — 10 years ago
Just as I remember from visiting the winery. Yum! — 11 years ago
Cedar, black olive tapenade, plum, spice, herbs/lavender and chalk on the nose. Med tannin, vanilla, olive, pretty herbs, menthol/eucalyptus and tar on the palate, with a bit of sawdust on the finish. Young, I know, but still fun. — 11 years ago
Collaboration with Peter Schell and Chris Ringland, powerful old vine Barossa shiraz blend — 12 years ago
Nothing like a nice, dry Riesling to wet your whistle after a day of shopping with the wife. This has been a regular go to for me for so long. Floral, honeyed overtones on the nose. Bright, golden yellow, with mouthwatering acidity, which should pair wonderfully with some Knockwurst and sauerkraut, which I was just craving!
About $16/bottle. This wine will always be in my lineup. — 9 years ago
Very deep purple color with ruby hues. On the nose: a bit of minerals, dark red fruit jam and pepper. Taste: medium tannins, a bit dry with hints of dried black cherries, plum and cracked black pepper. Good value. — 10 years ago
