4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Our house): Blind. Lemon, apple, coconut and banana notes. Pale color. I'm struggling to pick out which is which in the line up- the color of these is essentially identical. Fresh orchard fruit on the palate, medium-body; lengthy finish dominated by apple. Excellent; nice underlying acidity.
This has aged beautifully, and this bottle showed no signs of being tired any time soon. Enjoy now and over the next five easily...perhaps longer. Wish I still had a couple left to find out just how long these will go.

Celebrating the JOP. This wine is in a great place right now with a lush nose of pineapple and tropical fruit. Racy acid and pretty fruit show excellently on the palate with a complex development as it opens on the tongue. The finish holds with a hint of mineral its for a full 30 seconds.

Yellow to faint golden hue with nice viscosity, and a soft nose of citrus and oak. So my first reaction is wow, nice intensity of flavor and balance, really this is in its prime with no signs of unraveling anytime soon. On the palate this is all about tart green fruit, only a hit of oak. Smooth. I'm sure there are some secondary flavors in there but they defy description. Medium bodied, not a shy wall flower, with still a few years of life ahead.

Very nice for it's age. Not much alcohol but smooth. Grapefruit and floral notes.

Fantastic buttery feel, smooth and subtle. Sadly my last bottle.
