Stunning at the moment. Lots of baked red apples, butter and hazelnuts mixed with yeast and freshly baked bread. Everything is in a lovely balance. Tasting really nice at the moment!!
Packed with ripe exotic fruit but still a solid acidity keeping the balance in check. There is for sure also a lot of oak influence but everything seems to be going together very nicely. Loved this "new" style of SQN whites with just a touch of Chardonnay which adds some more balance and structure to the other Rhone grapes. Great stuff!!
Another huge wine from SQN. Packed with sweet black currant fruit kept in balance with a solid acidity. Also showing nice flavors of meat and licorice. Loved this wine but could really use some more age. It is very hash and could use even more time to mellow out a little bit :-)

Nice and classic pinot style with a sweet touch to it. It is actually very nice but perhaps also a little bit singular.

Lots of fruit but it lacks balance and does seems to be a little bit closed at the moment. Needs more time to open up.

Huge wine with lots of dark black currant fruit, vanilla and complex spices. Huge acidity and long aftertaste. Great wine!
