  September 22, 2023 - a taste of Washington State - Long Shadows wines: [apparently a Gilles Nicault solo effort]
  
  greenish gold with medium-plus body. a passing whiff of grass gives way to ripe pears, melon, pineapple and honeysuckle laced with savoury herbs. the richness of flavour and texture continues in the mouth along with a bracing acidity. coriander spice notes and a saline mineral note emerge mid palate and lead into a long finish that turns slightly sweet.
  
  while still fresh, this is a bold and rich style of SB that may not be to everyone's liking. i suspect a bit of age may tame the exuberance and flesh out more complexities.
  
  14.2% AbV; mostly from a warm site planted in 1972; aged in a mix of concrete tanks, stainless and French oak.

  September 1, 2023 - Crisp, dry SB from Walla Walla, WA. Citrus and lemon on the nose. Mango, passion fruit, lemon, and a hint of vanilla on the palate.

  February 22, 2023 - Fabulous bouquet greets you immediately upon opening! Citrus across the palate, more lemon and lime with a hint of grapefruit. Gives way to floral notes during clean medium length finish that prods you to taste again!
