I love this wine (and vintage). Probably not as nuanced as 2014, but still so wonderful and complex. Drink it very cold and get something so clean and yet so weighty at the same time. There is the fruit, wood, slate and a whiff of smoke that dances around the glass. Delicious - UU4

Citrus, peaches, lemons, apricot, tropical fruit and hints of spice and minerality in the nose and flavor. Elegant wine, very well balanced, full bodied and a very long creamy smooth finish.

A library bottle I picked up when visiting the winery in Sept last year. The 2018 I had while there was absolutely astounding in how good it was, and jumped at a chance to try one with age. I truly believe this is easily a top-3 Bordeaux Blanc style coming out of Cali (and maybe my number one).
66 Semillon/33 SauvBlanc/2 muscadelle. The bright citrus notes started off faint (and were much more prominent at release) but soon gave way to beautiful honeyed tropical notes…honeysuckle, honeyed mango, ripe peach. The texture here has turned rich/creamy but not cloying. Notes of sweet spice, orange marmalade, lemon scone and finishes with a mineral-driven flair that had some serious length. Hard to believe this is 7-yr old white wine which seems to likely be at peak (and probably holds here for a few years). Fantastic!

Didn’t show as well, drank next to a smoky fire and killed the nose.
