Love this producer. I like this cuvee, but i have to say i prefer the BdB a bit more generally. Chalk, apple, light body and rather lively with crispy fruit and acid, medium finish. 90+ to 91pts.

Pretty decent, but not really in my wheelhouse. Herbal, not really crazy about the fruit profile. Not oxidative, but just feels somewhat green, and that may not be the best description either.

Brought this to a tasting and poured it blind. Guesses were kind of all over the map. I find this pretty pleasurable; it is fairly driven, plenty of body, a moderate amount of chalky minerality, tart, emerging citrus and an engaging finish. It certainly has the minerality and chalk base to fit in with a lot of Champagnes along with the finesse and precision; just wish it ticked in more like 30-35 vs 49. 91 to 91+pts.

This seemed a bit flat by comparison to our other Champagnes, I don;t know - I liked it, but it seemed lacking in energy, still had some nice qualities, but didn't zip on the palate, yeast, strong citrus, some brine.

Small pour. Very solid. This had some nice earth, saline, good depth and some weight here, citrus, lemon peel, the acid seems to sneak up on you after a bit. Initially didn't have that grip, but got a bit more over time. Still a bit surprised this is a '10 - the fruit's there, but not that engaging acidtiy.

Medium maroon-red color, slightly murky with a 1.5cm bricked transition. Drank 1 glass blind over an hour plus. Not much doubt about this being Burgundy and i figured around 20 years old. I loved the nose, lots of funk and addle leather, dried twigs and earth,red fruits, burnt embers, smoke. The palate shows all the funk, earth, red fruits, tart cherry, smoke and sleek tannins. Excellent. Drinking well, though I don't think I push it a lot further.

Bright medium red ruby color. Drank 1 glass blind over an hour. Same bottle as Chablis28. I have a similar take on the wine to him. I called it central coast and very young. Didn't seem like a burg at all to me. The was a lot of bright red fruit on the nose and lots of oak that was in the forefront. It seemed a bit green to me though despite that ripe
though tart cherry fruit. There were some pretty firm tannins as well. In hindsight, it makes some sense given the appellation and age. I'm not sure the seeing the label would have matter at this point. Needs time to see what it wants to be.

PNP, drank 1 glass blind over an hour. Called this '12 Cali and wasn't too far off. Cherry, currants, spice, dried earth, quite ripe on the palate, baked cherry, wood, some heat, firm tannins. Maybe with a bit more time?

Light medium red color. PNP, drank 1 glass blind over an hour plus. I had high hopes for this after Coravining a small taste to be sure it was ok. It had a perfume and red fruits that while lean were still expressive along with a complexity and damp forest floor quality that seemed promising. On actually pouring this seemed a bit more conflicted and had a weird funk that I had not noticed before. It settled down over the next 15 minutes though, and while I appreciated the red berry fruit of raspberry and strawberry and dried forest floor notes along with funk, spice and subtle cigar box, it never resonated to the level that I hoped. Still a good older beauty holding up without going in for work. Very happy to have had the experience. 90+ to 91pts.

PNP, drank 1 glass blind over an hour. Didn't know what this was, so called Cali and felt young. Not even close as it turned out to be Argentina, did I know that Argentina made pinot? No, I did not - well, actually I never thought about it - and frankly maybe they shouldn't. Ripe, aggressive, sharp, ugh.

Light medium red color. Bonus bottle. PNP, Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Same bottle as Chablis28. I agree that this was tough to distinguish Oregon vs. Burg. Very much an elegant and lighter style with plenty of character and finesse. Pure red raspberry, subtle old school style, cedar/pine box. Still young. Love the style and not a big surprise to see this is Eyrie, despite flipping the coin and saying Burg. 91+pts.

Small pour. I generally like Raptor Ridge wines, but I've never had a sparkler from them. Unfortunately I didn't find this very appealing. It came off sweet and rather like a bull in what I would prefer to be a china shop. NR.

DOA. Too bad, this should have been fun.

Small taste. Had this before and it was quite a bit better. This bottle was a bit past and lacking in fruit and nuance.

Literally got one sip of this, and it was a treat. This was so Burgundian, integrated, soft and textured with pretty red fruits, and subtle complexity and elegance that begged for another taste. Maybe another time....

Another wine I barely got a sip of but glad I did. This was youthfully expressive and showing quintesscential purity of fruit. Glad to have some as these are only going to get better. 93(+)pts.

This came across from another table as well. Just enough for a single taste. It was expressive and carried weight and nice dark red fruit. Could be even better than my limited evaluation.

This flew by me quickly and I didn't get a look at the vineyard. I think this was Momtazi. Feel free to correct me. Bright medium red color. Small taste. Good, has good balance, a nice earthen nature is evident, bright red fruit with some intensity and good purity. I need to get some KF for myself. 91(+)pts.

Tasted, small pour. No notes. OK, not memorable.

Small pour. No detailed notes. Solid, leaner body, tasty.
