  So... acquired this wine at a $25 deal on WineBid. And after having now two of these, I wish the following were true.... 1. I wish I had bought the whole lot instead of just a part... And 2. I would have paid what the website listed as MSRP if I knew about this producer prior to a WineBid search. Gran Moraine, you've been exposed!! Lol 🤣. Ok, this is a steely dense wine with a lot of stone ground acidic character. Herbs and white pepper all around here. Mango and orchard fruit nose. Asian pear, kumquat, white pepper spice on the finish. Really enjoyable and went well with the rest of the modified "Coq Au Vin" herbed chicken and mushroom entree with mashed sweet potatoes and broccolini. This is a crazy Yamhill Carlton producer that I'd like to really dive into quite a bit deeper if it wasn't for the whole "more curiosity than money" thing. This is a really solid wine, made in an old world Burgundian style! Moraine -- a cliff the carries valuable information about history, usually including a variety of soil types. It reflects in the wine! Would definitely seek this one out, everyone!
