There’s a menthol cast to the cherry and raspberry fruit in this red, all backed by a line of stiff, compact tannins. Nonetheless, the finish on this is extremely long, with the fruit and savory essence persisting alongside a mineral hint. Best from 2029 through 2046. 1,250 cases made, 333 cases imported.

The 2023 Chardonnay Gap’s Crown Vineyard is another impressive wine in this range from Three Sticks. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, slate and chalk are all beautifully delineated in this brisk, nervy Chardonnay. All the elements are so well balanced. I especially admire the wine’s translucence and mineral-driven purity.

Dense and sappy, displaying a well of kirsch, blackberry, boysenberry and mulberry preserves that unfurls steadily, laced with notes of apple wood, anise and black tea along the way. There's a pinpoint feel to this red, with its silky yet tensile structure supporting the deft, suave finish as late flashes of sassafras and iron peek out. Very much its own wine. Best from 2025 through 2045. 395 cases made.

Made up of Mitans and Pitures, though with part of Mitans pulled out. Fresh middling purple. The nose is quite discreet, and certainly better balanced, with a spicy peppery note to the fruit at the back of the palate, with good acidity. A refined and stylish Volnay 1er Cru that shows the benefit of years of biodynamic farming in its finesse. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024.

Welcome to the far north of Riesling, which theoretically doesn™t exist any more thanks to climate change, but here it is in a glass. Super crystalline and pure on the medium-bodied palate. Mouthwatering finish that is also beautifully balanced. What energy. From organically grown grapes from vines planted in 1937. Drink or hold

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Homer Shea Vineyard is seductively spicy in character, with depths of woodland berries, cloves, star anise and cedar shavings forming its alluring bouquet. This is a model of elegance: a dense wave of ripe red fruits and spices is effortlessly lifted by brilliant acidity, and a primary staining slowly saturates the palate toward the close. The Homer finishes classically dry and crunchy, structured yet fresh and balanced for a long, steady evolution. While already a pleasure due to its beautifully integrated oak (43% new), the real magic will come forward with maturity."

"A barrel selection sourced from the best 10 barrels in a given vintage. The aromatics are rich and ripe. Notes of dried fig, kirsch and blackberry compote follow notes of dried violet and crushed stone. The palate is rich and powerful. Crushed basalt minerality is met with ripe blackberry, Italian plum and black cherry. Notes of espresso bean and rich dark chocolate follow. There is structure and power rather than finesse, chewy tannin and ample oak influence. The finish trails off."

Pale colour, a classical Aligoté bouquet with its slightly acrid grape skins. What has changed is the degree of flesh in the middle of the mouth and the ripeness of the finish. Some lemon and orange blossom notes are now more prevalent than lime. Otherwise, baked apple. In bottle. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted Nov 2024.
