I felt like this wine was just barely hanging on. It was clear with a dark, bronze color. The nose was over ripe white fruit that was somewhat oxidized. Still it held together, medium bodied, white ripe fruit with richness that held together with acid and a long semi sweet finish

A: Deep Gold N:Medium (+) nose of peach, ginger, baked asian pear, some honey, honeysuckle, pineapple, oatmeal P: Off dry, high acidity, high alcohol, full body, medium (+) intensity, long finish C: This is very well balanced between the VERY ripe fruit and the RS vs the and the refreshing acid. The Length of this is ideal and the intensity is notable. The wine shows clear complexity with in excess of 5 descriptive clusters represented. Its and outstanding quality wine already showing signs of development (ginger and oatmeal) Its not my cup of tea. I would prefer this drier. I like the producer but I have had better at lower prices. $73/bottle. Not one I'll need to visit again in a hurry.

Dark yellow color. Nice nose of Golden Delicious apples and Asian Pear. Minerally, nice acidity, complex flavors of yellow apples, peaches, pear. Oak and honeysuckle on the nice medium ending, with touches of green almonds. My first Savennieres and decidedly a good wine.

Outstanding wine. 15% alcohol, but you wouldn't know it - it is really elegant and delicious. Golden yellow in color. Honey, tropical notes and wool on the nose. Delicious apricot, mango and sappy palate. Long finish. Really enjoyable.

Amazing wine! Drinking very well now, with a decant, or give it a decade or two. Pair with a simple dish or keep it by itself; this wine has stories to tell you.

Powerful and heavy in weight, with vivid flavors of stone fruit, lemon, crabapple, and sea salt. Acid was a bit lighter than expected, but this never felt cloying. The brine notes take center stage on the long finish.

Gave it an hour decant, served at 55F and it was singing. Drinks above it’s age from the honeyed color and nose. Delightful wine, drink or hold.

This is a sleeper and a showstopper. Unlike any other white wine I have drunk. Great with food or standalone wine. Rich and off dry. Long finish.
