I'm not the biggest fan of Rhone whites, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable example. Full-bodied but good acidic balance. Creamy lemon zest flavors. Don't think I've had a Sandler wine that was anything less than delicious.

This is an amazing wine. Served with grilled chicken breast glazed with an apricot / bourbon sauce and grilled peaches. Wine had so much going on. White fruits...spice...lemon zest. Extremely full bodied, but with enough acid to be food friendly and a good compliment to a warm summer night. Finish was creamy and zesty at the same time. I am very glad there are three more bottles in the cellar. I plan to bring one tomorrow as we go sailing on a friend's boat.

We absolutely loved this white. I can't think of another Cali Rhone white blend I liked more. Delicious. It was consumed almost two weeks ago so specific notes escape me. I contacted Ed in hopes to get more only to learn that it was sold out, bummer, my wife wanted me to get a case...

This doesn't taste like ANY white I've tasted before, my wife's WOTY.
Medium depth in color, like a dark straw. Aromas are complex but I jumped right into it as we prepared chicken tikka masala. Without previously tasting the wine indian probably wasn't the best choice. Wrong, this wine is amazing. Huge palate firing on all 12 cylinders. Lemon rind, creme brûlée, anise, baking spice. Easily the most complex white I've tasted. Wife requested I order more, that never happens. Heavy mouthfeel but there's plenty of acid. Finish is enormously long.

Quite nice, showing citrus notes and was well balanced. Nothing heavy about it and it went well with a variety of cheese.
