Almost 90. Fresh bright cherry and cola nose. On the pallet, some great fruit-forward flavors, medium bodied and some nice secondary forest floor notes in the background. Clean, very well made - reminds me of something from Oregon. In a good spot, but just not complex or deep enough to merit a higher score. Good value too. Especially from Burgundy.

Enjoyable, but not profound. Drinking about as good as it’s going to get IMHO. Lemony notes and acidity on the first day joined by richer more classic rounded Pinot Blanc notes of melon on the second. Will hold for a while, but not going anywhere

Incredible. Opened tight with high-toned notes of Blackberry and Pomegranate, with those notes echoing on the long finish with some volcanic rock and stone notes. With air, everything got amplified and numerous citrus notes of orange, lime and lemon were balanced by deep cherry and blackberry “briary” notes. The next day, even better as the mouthfeel smoothed out and it exhibited more nance and elegance. Just at the beginning of its drinking window- 10 more years easily.
