One has to ask after tasting this delicious wine, "What happened to California Colombard?" Maybe we just couldn't make it this good and gave up it, or Chardonnay so dominated the market that they have pretty much disappeared. I'll take this Colombard over many Chardonnays. Rich, fruity and balanced with good acidity and not over-oaked. I'll get more Mont Gravet.

For the price, this is a lovely white wine. It has a fruity nose and on the palate it has grapefruit, lime, slate and generally nice minerality along with zippy acidity. It's really a good food wine as I had it with some green coconut curry.

Semi-dry, but full fruit. Lots of apples and nectarine. Nice.

Drank over three days. Pale yellow color, medium bodied. Mineral nose. The flavors were hard for me to pin down; a bit all over the place .The first day it wasn't quite cool enough. Front was almost tropical fruity, finish was acidic. 2nd and third days the wine was colder, and the apple/tartness/acidity came through at the beginning. What threw me off was that there was so much bright acidity, yet fruity flavors would pop up here and there. Very …

Pale yellow, inviting nose, with notes of wet stone, green apple, kiwi, and lemon. Quite tart, but this softens with air. No noticeable oak. Medium minus finish. Could go well with ceviche or most citrus/vinaigrette. Only 87 pts but this wine offers excellent value. forgot about her in the fridge, pleasant surprise: significantly better on day 3.

Overall pleasant. Enjoyed it better after it warmed up a bit, as it took on some interesting notes of mushroom and minerals to offset the ripe, almost sweet fruit flavor. Food friendly.

Expressive and appetizing bouquet, typical of its place. Great acid, lively and tangy. Citrus, shelled peas, green beans, etc. Solid finish. Works as a food wine or a standalone sipper.

High acid with a medium body. A bit of grass/herb and lime on the nose and palate. Much better than similarly priced over produced sauv blanc or chard.

Pale yellow in color, this wine (100% Colombard) revealed lemon curd, grapefruit, pineapple and coriander on the nose. The mouth feel was surprisingly heavy with bright acidity and a defined lime zest element. The finish was short and the acidity and sour, citrus notes did not come together in an acceptable way. Purchased for $7.50US, this is a barely enjoyable summer white or aperitif. The 11.5% abv is a nice touch. There are others from this region that I prefer …

100% Colombard. low aromatics, matted aromatics. Has some zingy citrus and green fruit, orange zest on the palate. Mineral palate. nice acid, 11% ABV. Probably works best to talk about this as Mongravet Blanc.

Heavy citrus upon opening; grapefruit and lime zest. After a little time and allowing the wine to warm there are notes of white peach.

Bananas and pears on the nose. High acid but when you are swallowing it is kind of like you are eating fruit

Tastes like a baby pouilly fume. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe the price is too. Great value. Great peach, nectarine, red pear.
