(12/30/2016) "Gorgeously opaque blue/purple in color, the wine offers up notes of blueberry and blackberry fruit, some licorice and graphite, followed by a full-bodied, layered and opulent wine with terrific fruit intensity, great purity, and class and presence on the palate. This is sensational stuff, and the best wine I have ever tasted from Revana. Drink it over the next 15-20 years."

(3/31/2017) "Very rich and complex, with enveloping flavors of baked apple, ripe citrus, nectarine and dried pear supported by a powerful structure. Lush midpalate, with a notes of dried guava, followed by unctuous spiciness on the finish, with accents of white chocolate, chamomile and dried herbs. Best from 2018 through 2026. 2,500 cases made."

(11/2016) Disgorged June 2016, the latest batch of "Sainte-Anne" is 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. The base wine is 60% 2013 and 40% 2012 and the finished bubbly has 5.5 grams of residual sugar. There is a LOT happening with this tightly wound Champagne, including precise and primary flavors of ocean rocks, chalk, brisk citrus and wildflower honey, all supported by a taut mousse and a tense spine. An exciting offering from Alexandre Chartogne.

(6/30/2017) "A blend of all three of the single vineyards, the 2014 Chardonnay Uncovered is every bit as good as the single vineyards. Apple, white flowers, brioche and toasted nut characteristics flow to a rich, textured, sexy Chardonnay that's just a straight up joy to drink. The 2012s from this estate are still fresh and vibrant, so I suspect these will all have a solid 4- to 5-year drink window, if not longer. There's roughly 1,200 cases of this killer Chardonnay, and readers owe it to themselves to give one of these a try."

(10/31/2017) "Alluring, with quince, creamed pear, verbena and green almond flavors allied to a creamy texture, all offset beautifully through the finish by light quinine and mineral hints. Approachable, but this seems built for the cellar. Best from 2018 through 2030."

(9/30/2017) "This big white is round and polished, with good weight and solid acidity behind the pear, blanched almond and white tea flavors. Ginger and briny notes give this a savory character. A muscular style. Drink now through 2022."
