Petrol on the nose but less than last time, some nice florals. Beautiful candied yellow apple on the palette. This evolved so fucking well, surprised, stunned even by how well age did this bottle.

Very light in color. Petrol noticeable and more prominent as it warmed up, but not objectionable. Not sweet to me, but others remarked that it seemed sweet. The acid was well balanced. Citrus and stone fruit were the dominant comments. Well liked.

Rev the engines (not your Tesla though!). “Petrol” for sure and a nice acidity and citrusy fruit. Will hold the last bottle for a while, 1yr+

Indeed the Master Series, not the intro Willamette.
Crisp, fresh and clean, not smell of diesel. This is a back vintage for them. Again, better than I expected it to me. And drier too.
From the challenging vintage with 8" of rain in one weekend right in the middle of harvest. And they picked the whites beforehand.
A little bit of Riesling at Lonestar vineyard in the lower elevation.
Ok, on second swirling its got a touch more petrol. It apparently has a couple of grams of RS to it but I don't quite feel that.

Petrol nose, blue slate, apricot, black tea. Plenty of acid, bright and crisp.
