  We sure liked this one even though we typically don’t drink whites. Nice stone fruits and citrus and definitely that rich oakyness. Followed up with the acidity and structure. Good bakance! Served up with some pan seared salmon with a dill/Greek yogurt sauce. Very nice for a Sunday supper!

  What a superb, optimistic & uplifting start to the new school year...
  
  A beautiful white; crisp, clean, minerally - the proverbial oyster shells, with hints of honeydew melon and a whisper of jasmine. A long buttery finish – thank you.
  
  When Hugh Johnson writes about his love of acidity, I think this wine epitomizes that sentiment. It has a tart acidity extremely well balanced on the palate…not ‘knock your socks off’ Burgundy, but restrained & evocative of terroir.
  
  Whether this is new or aged - zero complaints.

  Oak, citrus, pear, some slight confection? Smooth slightly buttery mouthfeel. Medium plus intensity.
  
  Edit 2021 07 14: Stored with a Repour in the fridge for a month and still good. Actually the confection has come to the forefront. Delicious.
