Community Tasting Notes 20

  January 7, 2023 - Oh my… in a perfect place. Still vibrant and fresh 10 years on. Some ripe, intense pear/orchard fruit at the front with nice, rounded acidity in support. Very Burgundian in style, though you can identify Oregon in the fruit profile. Simply a lovely wine, and remarkably priced (even today). As Burgundy prices continue to climb skyward, wines like this deserve a place in every Burgundy-lovers cellar.

  October 9, 2021 - Again, all the tasters swore this was a Burgundy.
  Very fine. Good length. Not at all heavy, with the depth of a solid Burg. Cote de Beaune quality in abundance. Marvelous Chardonnay.

  June 14, 2018 - As before; finely made, exceptional bottle in a Burgundian style. Delicate oak.

  May 24, 2018 - All the tasters swore this was a Burgundy. Not!
  Very fine. Balanced, with nice fruit and hints of light oak. Good length. Not at all heavy, but the depth of a solid Burg. Would easily pass as a very good quality village-level Cote de Beaune. Or maybe with another year a 1er cru? I'll have to see... if they last that long.

  August 14, 2017 - For a 2012, this is really light on its feet. Still needs some time to settle but this is excellent.
