Aaron: I was impressed with this Chardonnay.  The nose was fruity and tropical with pineapple and the flavor was sweet with honey and syrup.  To avoid an overly sweet experience, this wine adds butter and cream with lots of fruit making it easy to drink and easier to enjoy.  91 points

Teri: Very fragrant honeydew smell greats you first followed by the flavors of pear, stone fruit, tropical citrus, and vanilla. Great flavor and very easy to drink with a nice weight and body to the white wine. 90 points

Champignon Pinot Noir 2015

Cellar Tracker Info 


Aaron: This bright red color of this wine was mirrored on the nose. Tons of cherry clouded the nostrils but the body was light (though not watery).  There were fruit flavors with some leathery vanilla and a bit of earthiness which grew on me after a while.  This was pleasant.  90 points

Teri: This pinot has a medium body with a long finish and smooth tannins. Flavors blend together hints of earthy bell pepper, tart cherry, and soft white pepper; a pleasant mix of earthy and fruity flavors for a complex but easy to drink red. 89 points

Vivino Profile


Aaron:  Blueberries and mulberries were prominent on the nose, followed by velvety cocoa and vanilla.  The flavor reminded me of chocolate covered almonds, dark chocolate to be specific.  90 points

Teri: Strawberry and mushroom on the nose opens up to bold flavors of strawberry balanced with mossy herbs and white pepper. Just a subtle hint of oak. This Pinot is bold yet balanced. 90 points, for those who like herby/mushroom Pinot Noir.

Aaron: A very bright, fruity nose with rose petals, plums, and berries welcomes you with this pinot.  The sage and bread yeast flavor was interesting but this was very drinkable.  A few bitter stems of roses on the finish made this almost bell-peppery.  90 points

Teri: Bright ruby color with a smell of rose petals. The pinot has flavors of cherry and vanilla with some plum and sweet spice on the finish. Very smooth but still bursting with flavor. Lingering finish of plum and cherry. Delicious and balanced. 91 points
