Very nice and layered CDP, nose is a nice combination of red fruit, flowers and graphite. On the palate, the fruit hits first and then somewhat quickly gives way to the graphite/mineraly flavors, which last and develop on your palate in an interesting and pleasant way that avoids making me think I just licked a rock. Tannins aren't too powerful but what's there is grippy, could easily lay down for a few years and really develop. Overall this strikes a nice balance between approachable and interesting, easy to like for anyone who's into Rhone reds! — 3 days ago
One of my favorite Pinots I've had recently, strikes a perfect balance between a California style Pinot and Burgundian Pinot — a month ago

Really nice and fruity rosé! Has a nice interesting round red fruit character that gets lifted by citrus and salinity on the back end. Beautiful almost amber color. Great stuff! — 3 days ago
Simultaneously subtle but rich and deep, this doesn't explode on the palate but gives you a lot to think about and discover. A bit more in your face richness would have been a welcome addition for me, but still a nice pour nonetheless. A nice translucent ruby, tart cherries come through most on the nose and translate to the palate, where they're joined by subtle dark fruit notes and toasty barrel char — 20 days ago

WOW. Absolutely fantastic port-style dessert wine. The flavors imparted from the barrel aging are really amped up but not unbalanced, it almost drinks like a port finished bourbon. Beautiful caramel brown color, stewed prune, fig and date on the nose, which transfers directly to the palate along with a thick, creamy vanilla note with a touch of barrel char. Juice is absolutely worth the squeeze — 18 hours ago
