Purchased at their tasting room a couple of years ago.
Medium(+) gold color, clear
Nose: Medium/medium(+) aromas of apricot with notes of honey, white flowers, and rubber.
Palate: Full bodied, medium(-)/low acidity, medium flavors of apricot and pear with some floral notes. Slightly oily texture. Moderate phenolics. Medium(-) balance and medium complexity. A medium/medium(+) length pear and green apple finish.
I gotta say, I was expecting more - I wish it had more fruit and a touch more acid. It does improve as it opens up for a little while. My guess is that it is past prime. Either way, it is a nice fuller-bodied warmer-weather white. Would pair well with savory chicken dishes.

Medium ruby colored
Strong aromas of soy sauce and green olives with a hint of green herbs
Strong flavors of green olive and red cherry. Lower tannins and medium(-) acidity but exceptional balance and supple texture.
Beautifully crafted with great balance and complexity. Bravo, Mr. Baron!

Fresh, creamy, and crisp with a touch of sweetness. Flavors of grapefruit and cantaloupe. Great balance and overall delicious to drink
