Light straw, clear, muted lemon, tropical fruits, some minerality. The body shows the roundness of the semillon, with a bright finish and decent length. Nice wine; aromatics less pronounced than other vintages. That said I wish more west coast vintners made more of these white Bordeaux blends.

Dinner at home, Mill Valley, CA. From 750ml. Tasted at several points over the evening.
This is increasingly becoming my favorite of the Bedrock whites, so distinctive and rewarding. The 2020 is perhaps not the best vintage of this wine (understandable given the challenges), but it's still a pleasure on both intellectual and pure enjoyment levels.

First of the ‘20 vintage and I feel like this bottle had to be mislabeled. If tasting blind, I would have said New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. This was all cat pee and cut grass. I didn’t get any of the waxy lemon or citrus notes that I’ve come to love from this bottling over the years. Been buying since 2012 and this is the first time I’ve been disappointed in a bottle.
