Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

St. Joseph Syrah 2011

Years back a plush monkey wearing a sombrero cradled a small acrylic painting of my own sat in a well maintained yet delicately musty loafer with a soviet hammer and sickle I'd also painted on the side was placed on my friends doorstep in the middle of the night. Shortly after my friend opened the door to quite a surprise, he was deep in the land of mushrooms, so deep he required conformation of the loafer monkeys existence. The complexity of that situation is not unlike this leathery, light, and colorful display. — 11 years ago

One of the better, interesting and balanced Syrah wines I have had in a while. — 12 years ago

François Villard

Version Saint Péray Marsanne 2012

François Villard consistently amazes me at taking white varietals that I tend not to get too excited about, and making wines out of them that make me want to sit down, stare off into space and think about stuff. 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne, non-sparkling St Peray. Evolves aromatically mid-whiff.......impressive. — 11 years ago

St. Péray White Rhone Blend 2008

I tried this last summer and wasn't as stoked on it. Now, I'm beside myself. This is rich, oxidative, and delicious. This is other-worldly. Very few wines like this exist in the world. — 11 years ago

Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Viognier

Very pale golden color with peach, apricot, spiced honey aromas. On the palate, it's creamy and ample and dryish with peach, apricot, honey and mineral flavors. Med finish. Fabulous with saffron rice tilapia! — 12 years ago
