Had an orangy taste but dull start and a bitter finish.

Would not recommend.

Some funk on the nose (and on day 2, some VA). The mouth gives as sweet, tart, savory mix. Interesting and natty, if not perfect. Pretty fruity. 90pts. I will finish the bottle but I don't need more. $17G.

Agree with Jaredoco. Nice fruit and less acidic seeming than most D&G. Light.

Very Good++
Popped this open last minute to have with dinner, a bake of roasted tomatoes, eggplant, cheeses, herbs, breadcrumbs, etc. and it was a nice call. I really liked this. One thing I did not get was any black pepper! This is somewhat nervy, great clarity, vibrant crunch red fruits, reminded me at times of concrete-raised Grenache with some spice and kirsch. Lovely.

Very promising but still a little sweet-tart disjointed. Give it 2-3 years in cellar and try again.

a pleasing, lighter-bodied red....more the weight of a pinot noir than Cabernet Sauvignon.....fairly expressive nose, good balance, enough tannin to frame the wine, but the structure is not overwhelming. A pepper taste was present but not dominant. A nice "drink young' quaff.

Medium straw color in the glass with smoky nose of struck match, marshmallow, and lemon peel. Almost off dry, with bright acidity and medium body. Round on the palate with mouth-filling flavors of green apple, lemon, and white flowers. Long, balanced, and complex. Fantastic! Enjoyed it so much we chose it to be served at dinner for our wedding.

Heavy rosé, almost rosato style, with a open fruit forward profile and nice aromatics. Great with food, mouthfeel similar to a low tannin nouveau. Notes: grapefruit, red berry, Hawaiian Punch, cedar.

11/22/2023 - AwesomeHusband Likes this wine: NR

It’s good. Although my palate sucks and it was just tainted by a delicious dinner of chicken spinach and peppers in a harissa-sriracha-Chardonnay cream sauce over pasta. However the 2021 If/Then red blend is nice. It’s soft on the palate, kinda smooth and silky, with a little bit of bite at the end.

I’ll give you a sip stream of consciousness review for my second pour, a half glass because I need to drive soon.

My first swig was large and meaningful. It was easy on the mouth. A lot seams to happen a little bit after swallowing. All of it good but it drys out the mouth and makes me want another sip.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot up front except good solid red grape flavor. Not too sweet though. There’s a lot after that fades. Like I said, I don’t have a distinctive palate, I can recognize the flavors but I really can’t name them.

Couple more sips. All good. Overall a nice pleasant wine.

Boysenberry, black raspberry, black and red cherry, plum, herbs, African violet, and earth on the nose. Plum, tart cherry, red cherry, herbs, earth, spice, a hint of new leather and graphite on the palate. Tangy, juicy, mouthwatering acidity, lightly grippy tannins, medium long finish. Delicious. There's lots of acidity, which keeps this lively, but people who don't like acidity might want to look elsewhere. Very fun, fruity, and easy to drink, yet there's plenty of stuffing. And 12.9% so you can guzzle it.

7/21/2023 - tb_baltimore Does not like this wine: 81 points

This did not age well. Based on the other two bottles (purchased 2016), I had thought this was going to get better and better with age. While it is not spoiled, it has a strong bitter after-taste. The alcohol comes through strongly, without any pleasant overtones or flavor senses. Its almost like carbonated alcohol with a bit of a wine flavor on top. I'd say this is only going to get worse for anyone still having an unopened bottle.

Funk. Blew off after vigorously aerating. (Decanting, shaking, sitting for an hour) Better with fatty food - sausages. Lost its fruit. I thought I loved D&Gs, "The Recluse" & Broken Leg Vineyard....

The 2007 Donkey and Goat Chardonnay Brosseau Vineyard might be the best Chardonnay I have tasted from them. Nose is great with lemon, mineral and white flowers,. Palate has Meyer lemon, stones and discrete vanilla, with a just a hint of tropical fruit. It has a medium light body and is better than the sum of its parts. Outstanding!

2/20/2023 - Wine Diplomats Likes this wine: 89 points

A Counoise dominated Rhone blend. Natural wine. Unique nose. Sort of leathery, earthy, stemy and spicy with dark red berry fruit. Cola. It's hard to describe. The palate fruit is a little darker with medium acidity. Soft tannins. A slight fizziness. Otherwise, an easy drinking wine.

11/26/2022 - EllisWine Likes this wine: 93 points

Delicious! Light yellow with a touch of sediment that settles to make it clear. Beautiful bubbles as it enters the glass and gives a nose of gentle fruits. Big mouthfeel that sparkles on the tongue with apples and just enough acid to make refreshing. Shy, easy finish that makes one want more. At 11.2% the bottle is soon gone and will be missed with a soft smile.
