One of the better Scholium whites you can find. Very versatile. Good acidity props this up so it can be enjoyed with a variety of foods and by itself. Orchard fruits, honey, spice. This has a lot going on at a decent weight considering the alcohol. The acidity really balances it out though, so it does not drink heavy.

Cloudy yellow, Vanilla, caramel, Swiss cheese, chocolate Orange nose. Apple on flavor. Acid plus, weight medium plus, Nice wine, but price is a little high in my opinion.

I get the Porcini Abe mentions along with apple, balanced vanilla/butter from the oak, medium minerality and light acidity. Perhaps a bit tannic? The label says 15.74% but you'd never know. Drinking well now and I don't see it improving but it should last through its 10th birthday.

Intoxicating. Stunning. Got better and better over two hours. Nose sweetened over the drinking window. Flavors intensified. There's a tinge of habañero with gobs of pineapple and a sliver of peach.
Do I really have another bottle of this?

Big and rich but with minerality. None of the oxidative notes that we got with the other recent Scholium Chardonnay. Very drinkable.
