This was nice, honey, ripe lemon and peach, and a pronounced minerality on the nose, Developed nutty aromas and some baking spices suggesting oak usage. The palate starts on the sweet side and it finishes somewhat bitter, providing a really nice contrast. Alcohol is balanced as is the oak. Flavors are ripe peach, lemon, nuts and honey. Nice long length. The wine is developed and I don't think it will improve much.

Not my favorite. The tasting notes are spot on, this is just not for my palate. Too heavy, oily, and waxy. Good fruit hides beneath, but also more alcoholic tasting than I like. I appreciate the grape varietal, but will not purchase any more.

Big, bold, oily rich and ripe, candied caramel and apple/apricot pie. Coconut creme pie, very hedonistic and ripe.

Gorgeous as always, started out a touch oaky when it was chilled, as it warmed up the balance and juicy viscosity emerged...

Gorgeous ripe lush fruity viscous. A hint like a peachy chard, but with waxy marzipan hazelnut elements that say Rhone. Nice!
