  April 20, 2024 - I was surprised by the intensity and domination of the pineapple scent and flavor of this Chablis. It’s a pleasant white wine but without detectable Chablis cut and salinity. Full body, modestly viscous. Good length. Mature but no oxidation or fading.

  December 1, 2023 - Portland Paulee (Oregon Historical Society, Portland OR): Oh wow. We're in for a real treat here. This is so defined and fragrant as it fills up the glass with saline, flint notes, pears, apples, crushed rocks, yellow flowers, nectarines, vanilla, tree fruits, and some meyer lemons. The nose here is the definition of layered. Its like you're peeling an onion with each tones becoming more strong as each layer disappears. The Medium bodied feel is silky and deft with crisp, medium+ acidity that still has just the right amount of bite left in it before really leaning into the lengthy finish. This is just a killer bottle of Raveneau. It's right where you want it if you still want just that bit of primary fruit while the acidity has pulled back to allow this to really shine.

  September 30, 2023 - Burgundy Grand Cru with either first or last name with initial A, B, F, G, H, R and T: Pronounced nose intensity with notes of mineral, tropical fruits, pineapple, honey suckle, citrus, white flora. High acidity. Long finish. Aromatic on the nose. Decanted for 2-3 hours. At its peak, don’t think it will improve with ageing but will last easily 5 years or more.

  April 4, 2023 - PNP at Asa. Classic Raveneau nose of honey, crushed limestone, sea breeze and lemon. Unctuous palate, really lovely texture with a lemon infused, mineral laden flavor profile. Fantastic.

  January 20, 2023 - The one with Raveneau (Sonder): Bouquet opened with starfruit, pineapples, ripe pear and lilies. Slate, limestone, lemon wax and ripe crunchy fruit (like ripe plums and apricots) on the palate. Excellent weight and density with lovely acidity and structure. Guessed that this was the 2009 MDT but mixed it up with the 2010 Valmur. Thought this was great!
