Excellent rose champagne! Nicely bubbly, beautiful color, great fruitiness. — a month ago
Very youthful, medium‑plus bodied Hermitage with a clearly fruit‑driven profile.
Nose: black cherry, blueberry and raspberry, light floral note, minimal smoke or oak spice.
Palate: similar dark and red fruits, moderate tannin, fresh acidity, medium‑plus finish, no noticeable volatility or flaws.
Structure suggests it will improve with a few years of cellaring but is already drinkable with a short decant.

Cork broke, but the juice is good. The nose is shy, but the fruit flavors are vibrant. Tart blackberries, prunes, thyme, earthiness, a bit of tobacco bound in new leather. Tannins medium+, acidity medium+. Enjoy it now or enjoy it in 6-8 years. I really didn't want to do 6-7. I'm enjoying it now with a beautifully cooked sirloin, smashed potatoes, goat cheese, and a simple arugula salad. TGIF!

Simple light red - low on minerality with good structure — 21 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2012 Rosado pours pink/salmon color with medium viscosity and no signs of sediment or particles. On the nose, the wine is developing with Maraschino cherry, dried apricot, coconut, dill, vanilla, and walnut. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Brilliant, soulful stuff. My first experience with the 2012 vintage. I hope there are many more to come. Drink now with patience (maybe even a decant) and through 2037. — 2 months ago
