2022 la Lucia Chianti Classico Superiore. Small family vineyard more recently taken over. Lean restrained elegance . Just picked berries. Not too spicy. Lithe with just the right tartness — a month ago

2023 delightful Friday afternoon wine. Reminds me of a Cheverney. Viognier is in just the right balance. — 3 months ago

2022 is drinking so perfectly. Full rich crushed dark fruits with a slight earthy smoky core. Blows me away. — 5 months ago

Nutty, sherry like strange and wonderful. Ash and bright mineral. Interesting and complex while being extremely gulpable. — a month ago

2024 vintage. At this moment in time my favorite rose. Bright and balanced. So many bright fruits with a hint of fresh tobacco. Salt and pepper too. — 2 months ago

This 1995 was a pink amber color. Cherry juice and apricot on the nose with the same on the palate. Delicate and refreshing, nothing else quite like it. — 4 months ago

This 2023 Aligote is exactly right. Tight minerality with a slight salty butter finish. A subtle hazelnut skin in background giving it all more interest than a typical Aligote — 2 months ago

This 2023 reminds me of late springtime when the flowering trees are putting out their scents with a brine in the air as well. Hints of pink grapefruit, but mostly floral nuances. — 3 months ago

At first sip thought this 2023 was a clean simple uninspiring wine. Tried again the following day and its beauty was revealed. Aromas of green melon and citrus rind. Palate reveals the same with a salty tang and white pepper sensations. I’m now a big fan. About $24 retail — 5 months ago
