opened on a random Wednesday night.

Poured a beautiful gold in the glass, swirling showed the slow legs of its 13% abv. On the nose, it was still ripe lemons, some candied yellow fruit, a little mineral, and hay that almost verging on fermented.

On the palate, it's not as acidic as I was expecting but this is an 8 year old bottle. The acidity did eventually arrive on the back end but up front it's more sweet lemons and just a touch lemon zest.

Initially a bit closed off and had some va and funk but after a chance to blow off it was Cherry and red fruit on the nose, ripe red fruits and earthiness on the palate. A tidy wine for sipping

1/2/2022 - Renton Likes this wine: NR

incredibly smooth cab franc from Cathy Corison, a little green pepper on the nose but blackberries and other dark fruits as well.

on the palate, medium acidity and medium tannins that have certainly relaxed. You can still get a little green peppercorn and plenty of black fruit as well, not too ripe but not too tart.

Nose full of stemmy green and Brett, not much fruit on the palate. Bad acidity and no fruit on the nose, very disappointing even after 15-20 min of air.

Decanted for a Sunday ribeye dinner

Bordering on infanticide, this wine was brimming with ripe dark fruits and a bit of Corison earthiness. Silky smooth tannins and an absolute delight, wish I had bought more.

PnP for a sushi dinner.

Initially a bit closed and disappointing, but after 30
min or so this opened up with citrus and minerality and a slight dried apricot and honey sweetness.

The acidity also began to shine through as well. This wine proves that a little time and air make a world of difference over straight from the wine fridge.
