Deep gold in color. Big heady nose of white mango, banana, and spice; echoed on the palate. Good Semi-firm acidity wrapped in a creamy mouthfeel and finish. A nice solid Cali-Rhône representative to be enjoyed with food. Chicken with cream sauce here.

No detailed notes. This paired wonderfully with cheese plate at Thanksgiving. Nice rounded mouth feel with just enough acidity to give it balance. Best with food.

Excellent wine that plays well with all sorts of food. Had this along with a tasting menu the included such diversity as a fried ricotta ball, lamb prosciutto, goat cheese, lobster and truffle butter, and more. The wine played well with nearly everything and was surprisingly chameleon-like. At one point I thought it was all green apples, but at other points I was getting lemon, tropical fruit, and even lemongrass. Nicely done Kent.

Crisp when chilled. A bit of butter taste aligned with green apple or slight citrus and with some acidity. Very well made. Agree with iByron's comments.

Previous notes still apply. Tan gold color. Complex nose and palate with good acidity and a nice nutty finish. Great with roasted chicken.
