  This vintage is hanging in there but seems to be fading. It's drinkable but doesn't have enough of that nectar/honey character I was looking for. Drink now while there's still time.

  a fairly dense, creamy white, holding up well at 8 years of age. Any acidity and precision has largely gone, but there's still a fair bit of nuance and pleasure to be had here, particularly with a salmon in tarragon cream. It's lasted this long so it could be interesting to see what develops with some really long-term aging, but at this point I'm not sure what we'd be waiting for.

  Gentle nose – creamy with citrus touches. Weightier palate, with pear, apricot and some butter touches. Green edges with balanced sweetness.

  Quite a subtle nose: creamy, lemon. Fresh.
  Good palate: creamy and fresh, like the nose, with some minty/menthol notes too. There's actually quite a resiny feel and texture on the palate (though it's nothing like retsina!)
  A very interesting and very versatile wine with food.

  2013 QUPE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MARSANNE- 25% Roussanne blended in; this shined with aromatics of flint, minerals and mild doses of citrus and then in the taste along with a bit of saline and more specifically lemon lime fruit; it was medium bodied and had a nice palate cleansing effect.
