Pierre Paillard

Les Parcelles Bouzy Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2016

A fine pounded Peter. 2016 base of 70 P 30 C, disgorged Nov 2021. The better the cru, the less bubbles and chill for me to enjoy it. Thoroughly. - at Frenchy’s Hideout in Hillcrest. — 6 days ago

Honor Barn Red Syrah Blend 2020

More fallback than first pick red blend, but easily solid in my view. Label claims dark cherry and toasty oak, which I do pick up but I could use more detectable toasty oak. The dark cherry is more easily detectable than the oak for sure, so having stronger oak would really drive this up in rating for me. It’s slightly on the dry side but not excessive. Still, I have no problem honoring the barn built in 1900 based on this admirable tribute. I don’t quite know who RoxyAnn is, but I do hope to one day purchase produce and leave payment in the honor box at the Hillcrest barn. — 2 years ago

Hillcrest Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Pretty, with a perfumy nose that draws you in. Clean cherry, straightforward, long-ish finish lingered nicely. — 9 years ago
