Terrific. Drinking very young. As usual for this cuvee there’s a pretty good balance between sauvignon blanc and semillon character with the SB tending to be more flamboyant and forward and the semillon hanging back a little. Plenty of spine/acidity to this making it a great match with rich seafood. Where these wines really shine is with the right food match. 4- (out of 5).

Lots of roussanne character, with nuttiness and honeysuckle, no oxidative character. Not a hint of being over the hill, but I think it was a tiny bit brighter and more interesting three years ago. This is a wine to have with food now. Excellent, 4- (out of 5)

This makes me think of an Oregon/Burgundy blend, good fruit in evidence, some earthiness/forest, with good concentration/extraction, and plenty of structure. I think this will age well. Very good with potential to improve. 4- (out of 5).
