  November 3, 2023 - This is a medium, clear straw yellow colored wine. I get apple, lemon, pear, peach, and vanilla on the palate. This is an ample bodied wine with a velvety consistency. The oak is there, but it's judiciously used. The finish is clean. The structure is consistent with flowing balance. The alcohol is at 13.3% which means, to me, that these grapes were picked a the perfect ripeness. I would normally only say this about the best white Burgundies, but this wine is elegant. This wine is from a great vineyard, and the wine maker has done a great job. I'm so glad that I bought a full case. This is probably my highest rated wine for less than $30 a bottle.

  September 30, 2023 - Good but not too distinctive for me, and a little oaky.

  November 4, 2022 - Golden color. Lemon, lemon meringue, vanilla and green minerality on the nose; lemon and sweet oak on the creamy palate and round finish. Baby Brewer-Clifton. Delicious.
