 Tasted by walkerjfw on 3/27/2021 & rated 92 points: Impromptu Saturday evening with Isobel and Jeroen. They are ABC (anything but chardonnay..) drinkers, time to check back in on this. Slight chill, PnP

Deep gold color, darker than I remember last bottle. Nose showing citrus, mineral, honey. Crisp palate showing citrus, lemon zest, saline, herb(?). Secondary notes of orchard fruit, honey. Medium body and finish.

From memory, this has added some depth from last tasting. Great shoing on this evening (429 views)

 Tasted by wgmccallum on 8/30/2015 & rated 89 points: On the nose flowers, grapefruit, and stone. Spritzy acid attack on the front of the palate with a generous dose of palate-coating tart fruit, nice crisp finish. Very nice. 50 + 15 + 16 + 8. (2689 views)
 Tasted by walkerjfw on 8/28/2015 & rated 90 points: Opened this for my non red/non chrd drinking friends...their palates veer to European wines...this did the trick

Great summer wine, citrus, grapefruit, herbs, white flowers. Light minerality, fresh and crisp finish. Drinking really well now. Served with a little extra chill on this one, worked nicely... (2585 views)
 Tasted by TPB on 8/14/2015 & rated 92 points: I actually enjoy this as a summer wine more than the higher end Regain from the same vineyard. Grapefruit, touch of herbal/honey, nice mineral finish - refreshing and sturdy. (2026 views)
 Tasted by kcsteve on 7/13/2015 & rated 90 points: Qualifier...not a white wine drinker per se, but this was excellent. Floral, grapefruit, nice acidity. Great with rice noodle, chicken and vegetable dinner. (1486 views)
 Tasted by Brandon Sparks-Gillis on 6/21/2015: Fresh, fruity, and very pure with a nice light minerality. Delicious, and drinking great at the moment. (1246 views)
 Tasted by TPB on 6/10/2015 & rated 88 points: slightly floral, more grapefruit than lemon with nice acidity. Very refreshing (1276 views)
