The 2019 Oke Sauvignon Blanc leads with nutmeg oak and layers of tobacco, char and sandalwood. In the mouth, the fruit is obscured at this stage, but the oak (as profuse as it is) is classy and spiced. The acidity courses through the texture and enlivens the palate. This was made like a Chardonnay: it was whole-bunch pressed directly to oak for fermentation, then aged on lees for 11 months. Complex and good. Though not overly Sauvignon Blanc-like, it is good nonetheless. Rich. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

"A delightfully racy sparkler, with tart apple and floral anise aromas leading to zesty lime and lemon flavors, presenting accents of cinnamon and spicy ginger. Drink now. 25,000 cases made. -T.F." (Reviewed 10/13)

"Another fine sparkling wine from Scharffenberger, this two-thirds Chardonnay to one-third Pinot Noir, made in fairly large quantity but excellently priced. At first it's a swirl of caramel apple, very inviting, before diving into a frothy mousse that's dry and balanced in acidity. -V.B." (03/13)

"The 2023 Rose Cotes de Provence Esprit Gassier is bright, vibrant, and juicy. A bit more tropical and mineral-driven on the nose than Gassier's other cuvees, it jumps from the glass with beautiful pineapple, blood orange, grapefruit, and crushed rock aro mas. A fresh cherry juice tartness coats the mouth, while lovely minerality lends complexity. Textural, creamy, and balanced, the 2023 would be perfectly pleasurable on its own or at the dinner table. This also represents the most affordable wine in the Gassier lineup--a tremendous value."

The "Un" is one lean, green Chardonnay machine. It smells like cold steel and lemonade, with bits of crunchy, dried maple leaves and wet slate. The crunchy mouthfeel lights up with lemony acidity and flavors like tart pineapple, green papaya salad and thyme. If you are looking for butter, hunt elsewhere.

92 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2022 Pinot Noir Un is remarkably pretty, with a lifted blend of dusty rose and violet pastille accentuating dried strawberries. This model of purity is lifted and refined with crisp red and blue fruits swirling across a stream of brisk acidity. The 2022 leaves a coating of fine-grained tannins and a tart wild berry concentration, tapering off structured and remarkably fresh.

Very dark, spicy and mysterious, this is a concentrated and graceful Pomerol that shows what was possible in this vintage if everything was done right. The stunningly fine tannins drive the very long subtle finish. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)

A big, powerful, masculine Pomerol with a style not dissimilar from Le Gay, the dense purple-colored 2009 Gazin exhibits black currant, black cherry liqueur, coffee, roasted herb, an exotic Asian spice component, vanillin, creme caramel and toasty oak in its aromatics and flavors. From a vineyard near Petrus, Le Gay and La Fleur Petrus, it is full-bodied with licorice, earth, truffle and creme de cassis in the mouth. Give this powerful, backward 2009 an additional 6-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades.

95 Neal Martin - Vinous Media

The 2009 Gazin has a very concentrated, high-toned bouquet with Merlot firmly in the driving seat, a mixture of black and blue fruit. The palate is rounded on the entry with supple tannin, succulent and glossy in style with macerated black cherries and salted liquorice towards the finish. This needs another year or two in the glass. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Silvery salmon orange pink color. Vibrant aromas of fresh cranberry sauce with a tangy, fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a long honeyed cranberry, green apple skin, and delicate spice finish. A delicious, very approachable cranberry wine with great intensity and purity of flavor. (tasted on Dec-09-2013)

Coming from Mendocino, an area slightly less impacted by the heat, the bright yellow/straw-colored 2022 Chardonnay Anderson Valley is lifted with a perfume of citrus blossoms, fresh herbs, green apple, and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, it’s elegant, clean, and balanced, and it has a good finish. It should drink well over the next 5-7 years.

94 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

Boasting a rich magenta/ruby hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is classic and very much in the style lovers of this estate have come to expect. It’s ripe with notes of fresh black cherries, scorched earth, violets, and dark forest earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with sweet tannins and is generous without feeling heavy. Long on the finish and fully dry. It’s a very well-styled Pinot Noir from this challenging vintage that’s going to drink well over the next 6-8 years.

92 Wine Spectator

An enticingly ripe version, with a mix of black cherry, raspberry and boysenberry coulis notes joining licorice, bramble and singed apple wood accents. The juicy, engaging finish feels full of life. Drink now through 2032. 4,600 cases made.
