Weeknight treat. Medium body, creme brulee on nose and some custardy finish but great acid. Just so many great things to love in this chardonnay. I still prefer Ma Belle Fille — 3 months ago

Purple, light pigment extraction, excellent clarity. POW! Raspberry and soy notes in the nose, layers of berry flavor and cola spice depth, light seed bitterness and skin astringency on the finish. — 3 years ago

9.0

Bright cherry, some white floral notes, a bit of effervescence, and hints of bay leaf. Fruit is intense and feels closer to new world, but there’s depth and earthiness that maintains the old world charm. — 4 months ago

Ruby. Oak, vanilla, black currant. Tannic. Later on, turned into smooth with cosmetic. Elegant! Is that Hermitage? Enough decanting is necessary to enjoy the real taste. Fayolle Fils & Fille Les Dionnieres Hermitage Syrah 18 @11440, AD, 240509 — 2 years ago

9.0

Great value! Doesn’t taste as Willamette-y as most but still good fruit and terroir shining through. Mildly earthy and herbaceous, but mostly cherry notes on the front. — 4 years ago

Super enjoyable Pinot from Oregon. Cherry tarty acidy smooth and delicious. Bought a few on LB at some point. Glad I have a few more in the cellar. — 5 years ago
