- Background
- Francois gives me right of first refusal to buy all of his wines. I usually take all he makes. Francois’ style is similar to his father’s style with emphasis on the fruit. Yet, he “americanizes” his wines a little. Those who enjoy American Pinot Noirs are usually very impressed with his wines.
- Tasting Notes
- Good color and concentration, with red fruits, berry, floral and earthy aromas. Nice character and expression of terroir.
