  August 13, 2016 - Probably the best bottle I've had of this. If I had any more I would like to see what it was like at 15 years, this bottle showed no signs of falling off.

  June 1, 2013 - I'm afraid i let this one go a little to long before drinking. It was definitely past its prime and had lost almost all of the fruit. Heavy oak on the nose and in the mouth and unfortunately not much else.

  November 23, 2011 - Wow, this is in a great place. Nose of tropical fruits and almonds. The racing acidity of it's youth has fully integrated and this is drinking perfect. This is an eye opener for me and shows the potential of white Rhone wines. The wife really liked it too.

  September 5, 2011 - Our final Labor Day libation. Enjoyed with gnocchi with a mushroom sauce. The dish probably would have paired better with a Barbera d’ Alba. However, the recipe called for cream and a white wine with stuffing seemed to be a good alternative. It works. Lively and complex with a whole lot of something going on in the glass. Baked apple, lychee nuts, baking spice, tangerine and something tropical. An excellent mouthfeel with a crisp attack and unctuous finish. 14.1% alc. Highly Recommended.
