  Guest somm with a work colleague for the evening - supplied wine from our cellars for a work dinner (Pro Bono, Palo Alto CA): First wine of the night, from magnum. Generously supplied by Robin from his cellar. Chilled. Had been open for an hour+
  
  Medium golden color. Expressive nose showing apricot, floral and mineral notes. Palate showing orchard and pit fruit, apricot repeats, pear, honey and wet stone. Fruit persists through the mid palate. Medium body, long finish.
  
  Great showing, drinking perfectly now. Has a good arc ahead of it. Should drink at this level for forseeable future.

  Beautiful golden colour from this 100% Marsanne. Absolutely stunning nose, with apricot and honey immediately evident. On the palate, medium acidity with both apricot and honey clear again, with some pear in the background and a touch of minerality it seems to me. Drinking beautifully now!

  Much richer than I was expecting, I loved this wine! I shared the bottle with too many people, so I only got to taste a little bit, otherwise I might have given it a higher score. Orange-y citrus notes on the palate and a great nose.
