Did not decant. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Pale/slightly burnt straw color, bold nose. Full body, wonderfully balanced, good fruit/acid. No excess grass or cork. Drinks big and clean with a somewhat mature finish but still lots of citrus. Wish I had more, delicious.

Originally purchased at the winery when we made our first trek to Napa back in November 2006. Still holding up in spite of being past its drinking window. Very understated citrus & melon. Crisp & refreshing, with a bit of floral on the nose. Need to try one of the newer vintages of this one.

This held up quite nicely and is still going. Good pale golden color with mild aromatics. Full and luscious with enough acidity to balance and lend a few sparks on the finish. Good fruit extraction and very flavorful. Soft citrus, melon, stonefruit, and lemon peel to finish. A dry style with a more round fruit profile.

Still lovely and surprisingly not over the hill. Melon, lemon, flint, with an almost effervescent minerality. Big nose and long finish.

Light melon and tropical flavors followed by grassy notes on the finish. Very nice and refreshing.
