Nice wine aged a few years. Nice deep color showing some honey like look. Nose and palate of peach, apricot, and some nice minerality. Paired well with some grilled game hens. I’d say three to five more years of good stuff with this.

Nice full fruit nose of apricot & melon. Soft yellow color w/soft legs. Flavor: Lovely frame of soft peaches w/nice round soft acidity finish. Refreshing wine that paired well w/brie & fig appetizer. Held up to Turkey Tetrazinni entree.

Faint nose. Hint of apricot and lemon, light fruit. No tropical fruits. Prominent minerality and alcohol. Longish finish. Same next day. Wife concurs. Our tasting is not comcordant with other notes. Maybe state liquor store kept at high temps too long.

12 Days of Christmas - 2018; 12/21/2018-1/1/2019 (NYC, Vermont, Lake Placid): Tasted double blind - Flight # 1 - Wine #2: Definitely seems like Sauv Blanc on the nose - with tropical fruit. Tastes of pineapple, grapefruit, lots of citrusy acidity, some minerals and a bit of heat from the alchohol on the finish. Very lean and bright. Quite a contrast after the rich Kistler in spot #1. 2nd place for the flight with the group voting 22 pennies.

BTG restaurant purchase. Clear, pale gold color. Mostly stone and tropical fruits with some vanilla and butter with a tinge of oak underneath. Medium body and alcohol. Medium acidity and medium finish. Better than average and I would try again.
