  Ripe peach and apple with freshly grated ginger and lemongrass. Good weight and depth, this is an especially good Villages level wine. At its peak.

  Just a great Villages wine. Mostly peach with bits of ripe apple, white pepper and ginger. Very good weight and length for its ;level, even better balance. Should drink well through 2020.

  Unfortunately, this suffered from a small trace of TCA. It was a little noticeable on the nose, and (luckily) less so on the palate. That aside, this was a very nice C-M villages wine. It didn't have noticeable depth and richness, but was a more quiet wine, with nice subtle aromas and flavors. You definitely got the barrel-aged qualities (buttery) as well as some leesy notes (creamy, buttery) along with ripe citrus and stone fruits too. A very easy wine to like, but perhaps not worth the $48 price tag … though what can you do, we're in Burgundy here. Was expecting a little more, but a nice wine.

  Flint matchstick, butter. Fresh and crisp. Ginger, apple pie. Quite waxy smooth and agile. Angular sharp finish that seems a little acidic.

  drank off list at old Huntington Hotel in Pasadena with Louise, Tiff and Eric, very nice white burg, nose had some fruit and a touch of sulpher? and no oak to speak of, palate was very fruity initially apples and pears but with time and air (we asked to splash decant, waiter said 'it's a white!', we said we know) the acid came fwd and we got just a glimple of lemon/lime (my preference)... nice wine, fruit dominant, little no oak, well done and refreshing, should last at least several more years
