Deep magenta. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry, kirsch and lavender, along with vibrant mineral and exotic spice flourishes. Incisive red and dark berry, bitter cherry and succulent herb flavors show fine detail and spicy cut. Chewy, slowly building tannins add shape and grip to a strikingly long, nervy finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes. All whole clusters. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2023) — 3 years ago

Tasted blind. Light gold color. Exotic nose. Notes of citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, lemongrass, cut green apples and a little pineapple. Goes great with the cheese and snacks we have. I’m immediately in Sancerre world with my guess. Very mineral in it’s mouth feel, lots of acidity. I guess Cotat as the producer. This is a fun wine, and really well made. — 5 years ago

No new notes, we adore this wine, drinking it by the case; it really sings when 3-4Y past vintage.

Nose has cherry skin, mashed strawberry and green melon.
Palate has fresh cut strawberry, orange zest and a chalky minerality. Medium length finish, great acid levels, touch of sweetness. $14.40!

A fun wine for an almost 80°F day in the Berkshires, atypical for early April. — 5 years ago

Nose has dried strawberry, dry-crushed granite, rose and cut tangerine.

Palate is under-ripe strawberry, dried tangerine peel, wet minerals with a medium length finish, decent acidity.

Not the same as the 2016, seems lesser or closed up a little. Still a few bottles in the cellar, we'll power through them before the end of Summer. — 6 years ago

9.2

A 50/30/20 blend of Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon, aged in a mix of vessels.

The nose is more restrained than expected from Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, showing fewer overt tropical notes. Instead, it opens with white peach, lemon zest, fresh-cut herbs, and delicate white florals. The palate is rounded bordering on creamy yet energized by vibrant acidity and a pronounced chalky minerality. A subtle impression of ripe fruit sweetness lingers through the medium-length finish.

Vanilla, butter and sharp cheese. Cut it with a knife and spread it on toast. Wow.
