Community Tasting Note

  October 17, 2014 - Light golden in color, hint of toast and wax on the nose, this has beautifully detailed fruit, quite focused and crisp for a rhone-style white, with very nice acidity; stone fruit, peach pit, hint of almond and wax, could almost be a fatter white Burgundy. Just delicious, and again, one of the best white wines made in Calfornia.

They poured the 2007, and I brought this 2009. Andy tasted it blind, and he was the one that first guessed Burgundy - and it does have a lot of that quality, in terms of body and focus, and even some of the flavor profile. I'm with you, love this wine, in pretty much any vintage they can make it.
