translucent Pinot a striking upper register of aromatic presence

and brown spices are the key notes in this rich yet almost aggressively penetrating Riesling

orange zest and pastry

which resulted in high skin-to-juice ratios

(this limited two barrel cuvée is crafted from 70+ year old vines that abut the Musigny climat which is also called La Combe d'Orveau and is a monopole of Domaine Jacques Prieur)

The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay Brut Zero translucent Pinot a striking upper(55% fruit from Sanford & Benedict vineyard and 45% from Solomon Hills vineyard), Pale gold. Musky, heady aromas of yellow plum, poached pear, lemon pith and iodine. Pliant and creamy in texture, with a restrained sweetness to its deep orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with a smoky mineral nuance adding bite. Josh Raynolds
