A modern, intense style of cab. Deep purple in color. Stained the decanter! On the heavier side for a cab but tasty. A good winter wine.

Citrus with a definite sweetness!

Light purple in color! Light to medium bodied in texture, but a great taste. A lively wine.

Nice well rounded burgundy. Great value. Not as forward as some we like, but nice medium citrus on the finish.

Outstanding ! The 2013 style shows through to perfection.

A pleasant, light, chianti-like Barolo. Very light colored. Not something I would age, but great with pizza.

2/7/2024 - Sonoma-W Likes this wine:

Excellent - very crisp, apple fruit, waiter "mouth puckering!" Interesting to see how this evolves..

Fresh, light, fruity, a bit yeasty!

A darker more brooding version of this wine compared to the 12+ vintages we have tasted! Dark fruit, a bit of pepper. Definite long term potential.

Outstanding - no hard edges -- reminder me of L'Evangile in a great year. Slightly more austerity than others tried lately (not a bad thing -- just a characteristic)

As with prior 14's, definitely more pronounced oak that vintages since then. Quite well balanced

1/26/2024 - Sonoma-W Likes this wine:

Outstanding! Great complexity - more Burgundian that prior vintages -- with a touch of tropical fruit. Long finish

Split decision! Heavier in texture than the Grenache. Intense, great dark fruit.

Had over Xmas with Sushi! Outstanding -- great typical Meursault taste. Very lively.

Had in a restaurant over Xmas. Overall, great complexity and deep charcoal taste. Blueberry/dark fruit comes through. Nice finish.

Had in a restaurant over Xmas! Excellent - well balanced, some tropical fruit coming through. Less overtly rich than the 2013s we have had.

Third time trying! As expected, nice fruit, well balanced, not as oaky as what we recalled from a year ago. Quite nice.

Excellent! More coastal than prior vintages in its taste.

1/20/2024 - Sonoma-W Likes this wine:

An old memory! Traditionally styled but extremely well integrated and balanced. Charcoal and earthiness on the initial taste, the fruit came out after being opened for an hour. Will decant the next one.

Definite mountain wine! Intense, "juicy", lively fruit, a disappearing wine.

Won't rate yet - as it evolved immensely from day one through day two! Intense, oak, fruit, tannin, charcoal and other flavors all present. I'll give the next one lots of air! Definitely a high 90s wine
