  Extraordinary. Had to force myself to slow down and savor, not immediately reach for another sip. Superior to 2018 vintage IMO.

  Dinner with the W's and B's (Fiorentini in Rutherford, NJ): PnP, chilled - but definitely improved with 20 minutes of air as we waited for the appetizers. A consistently crowd-pleasing medium plus to full bodied Cali white Bordeaux blend. The Semillon (65%) muscles out the Sauvignon Blanc (33%) on both the nose and the palate to present stone fruits, yellow apple, lemon, minerality and just a touch of grapefruit. The acidity is quite juicy and up to the task of balancing the wine. Should hold for many years.

  Similar to prior note after a 1 hour SO; delicious & improved with warming up & more time in the glass, drink or hold

  Early tasting comments... Gold color. Nose of lychee, a touch of limestone, touch of pineapple. Nice acidity. Quite youthful. Needs air. this is built for long term! Later comments- more integrated. Beautiful
