Enjoyed over two nights. Terrific ethereal smokey, mineral, and lemon-lime nose. Medium bodied in the mouth with loads of mineral and mouth-puckering acidity. Lemon-lime zest, crushed rocks, a touch of honey. Smooth lingering finish.

wow , I enjoyed this. Classic chassagne feel in the mouth with a little roundness but oh so focused and mineral on the palate. Great acidity, great pure fruit and balancing acidity. This is a wonderful 2006. I am glad I have one more.

Remarkably crisp, elegant, and freshh; drinks much more like an '07 than and '06. The (spear)mint show up consistent with the last bottle. Really good and wish I had more.

Consumed at the monthly tasting group event. Not a lot on my notes sheet. Little bit of oak, but balanced. Thought it might be a higher end washington wine.

Pale color and light nose. On the palate though, the flavors burst through with tangerine, lemon and mineral, well balanced with the acidity. An elegant and delicious wine.

Not Too Fancy Burgs (Red & White); 4/10/2010-4/11/2010 (Seattle Wine Storage): #7 blind nose: rootbeer palate: licorice-y, I was sure this was Burgundy (not a CA imposter). THis tied for me as WOTF with #6, which was totally different but equally delicious. This one had more of a lightness to it that was simply filled with flavor.

This is exquisite. More fruit than my perfect white burgundy but balanced against a fresh, meyer lemon acidity. Oak is understated, and I'm hopeful the vanilla on the nose will fade with age. Great saline minerality. Great energy, purity and vitality. Will be a challenge to let this mature; it's fantatstic now.

Pure and crisp, with noticeable hints of Ramonet style mint. Solid wine.
