December 1, 2022 - The MB Grenache is their finest varietal. I find the rest of their lineup middling.

April 27, 2022 - A bonus bottle, as two of these discovered in cellar not in database.
Quite clear light red, no visible sediment. Lots of raspberry, pomegranate, spiced red fruits, lavendar, dusting of white pepper. Some jolly rancher quality on the palate. Good pure clean fruit is still holding up so this could go a bit longer on my other bottle. -

July 1, 2021 - Served with a garlicky chicken dish and this wine stood strong. Light bodied with sweet red fruit and enough acid to cut through the cream sauce. Very well made

June 24, 2021 - Precise and pretty, with raspberry and violet aromas and supple flavors accented by smoky white pepper. Drink now.

Full Pull Maison Bleue, 10/25/2017(Maison Bleue Bourgeois Grenache) Hello friends. Limited trio of new releases today from the ultra-talented Jon Meuret of Maison Bleue, all single varieties from single vineyards in the Rocks District of the Walla Walla Valley. We typically get only one shot at these wines each year, and that shot comes now. When you factor in that all three wines have already received positive press pre-release, the likelihood of reorder availability dwindles further.100% Grenache from Monette’s Vineyard in the rocks district (location here), this looks, smells, and tastes like Grenache. It pours into the glass pale red and comes roaring back out with a nose chockful of raspberry fruit, dusty herbal garrigue, and sanguine rocks minerality. The pale color belies a rich, full-throttle (14.9% listed alc) palate, which delivers wave after wave of flavor, a balanced mix of fruit and savory elements. As usual with Jon’s wines, the texture is seamless, classy as can be. Wine Enthusiast: Copyrighted material withheld.
