Marty Mathis (Kathryn Kennedy) pulled out some great wines for us- this 2016 Cab Franc had a deep purple color. Aromas of blackberry, plum and baking spices. Earthy flavors, cocoa and oak on the finish.

Honestly thought this was a Champagne in our blind. Turned out to be a German Pinot Blanc Sekt. Wow! Aromas of citrus, brioche, almond, chalk, some lingering herbs. Very pure on the palate, with wicked acidity and chalky minerality. Drinks like a charm, plus it helps that Bastian’s such a great bloke. Also noted that BR and FK did think that more time on lees would have improved the depth and textural quality of the wine. — 4 years ago

Drinking great. The dollops Carignan, Alicante Bouchet, and Petite Syrah really work well here, adding color, flesh, and extra dimension from a tannin and length perspective. The wine is wholesome, inviting with its lush black and marionberry pie aromas, there’s an ample dose of smoke and licorice there too. Its very alluring but the palate really shows the balance, yes deeply fruited with a sort of toasty pie crust element, but the focused acidity and tannic grip really hone it all in. It departs spiced and mineral if you will. — 7 years ago

Yeah this is going places. I’ll never forget this bottle. 1. It’s from Luxembourg which is cool. And I’m drinking it in Luxembourg!!! Also cool. 2. It’s friggin great.

Mild and subtle with creamy texture and just the right kick of acid. It delivers some soft peaches and ripened pear. Green apple to compliment and contrast. Like a warm dessert pie. — 10 years ago

More like a young barbaresco or alto Piemonte Nebbiolo. Perfumed with a little bit of mountain character, but very firm tannins that have yet to soften.  — a year ago

Another summer guzzler for $10.00, winery over $20.00 though. More acidity than the Mathis but not as much flavor. Either way both are winners at this price & release price. Save your money for big time cabernets, drink inexpensive Rose
Winery notes,
Crafted from 100% Pinot noir, the fruit for our Rosé is intentionally selected with an eye towards cooler sites which retain juicy, vibrant acidity. Stainless steel fermentation to retain the bright, fresh fruit character.

"Ethereal aromatics of magnolia, hibiscus, wild strawberry, jasmine and rainwater blend with slightly savory hints of lemon thyme and white pepper on the nose. The seamless palate of apple (think Envy or Pink Lady), slight honey notes and juicy acidity make this a refreshing, but serious Pinot noir rosé."
