    May 30, 2009 - White and Red Blends (Farpointe Cellar): The nose had peach, floral notes, orange zest, and some slight minerality. The palate was crisp, and had stone, earth, lemon, and a floral finish.

    April 15, 2009 - This bottle was pretty amazing. Deep yellow in color, with solid acidity and a cornucopia of flavors involving melon, marzipan and toasted honey. Should age very well, but very nice right now.

    December 14, 2008 - Chris suspected that the case of this he had was compromised, since the first 5 bottles all showed a flaw. For fun, we opened the last seven to see if there was a drinkable one in there. One was or two were drinkable, if not quite appealing, the rest varied between bland and disgusting. Oh well.

    September 30, 2008 - Showing more stuff with a little more age, loaded with a garden of flowers and crushed stones. Wonderful just to smell in the (proper) glass, refreshing on the palate but not hugely deep or rich there (that's OK)

    July 17, 2008 - Enjoyed this wine very much...thanks Chris. Floral nose, and tons of classic rhone terroir and mineral...the rhone white grapes really shown throw on this. Very classy, elegant wine.
