  Pours a deep golden color with medium legs, no less because of the challenging vintage. On the nose the wine is pungent and complex, yielding yellow stone fruits, tropical fruits, mint, eucalyptus, wet stones, sugarcane, and just a touch of oak in the end. I would say that the profile was one more Chablis-like rather than Californian. But over time, the wine has picked up tertiary characteristics that give it an American profile. On the palate, the wine is robust, voluptuous, yet stays true to its Burgundian roots by providing balancing acidity and copious streaks of minerals for structure. Flavors of buttered popcorn, caramel, smoke, mineral water, white floral honey, mint and anise are in full force. Finish is a bit short and clearly demarcated by a mineral cut. Nonetheless, a very tasty juice that yields a lot of enjoyment. Another ringer from the Le Moine couple.
