  October 4, 2018 - The wine pours a mature golden color with moderate legs. Given its alcohol content, plenty of time is given to let the wine unravel itself. With time, the nose yields the typical California white profile - bold, intense, plump, buttery and hot. Although the wine is a sauvignon blanc/semillon blend (80-20), the profile reminds me of a Cali chard that has seen a moderate amount of oak as the nose yields buttered popcorn, honeysuckle, guava, peaches, phosphor, toasty oak and sugarcane water. On the palate, the wine is quite slick, oily even, and displays layers upon layers of generous white stone fruits, freshly cut grass, minerals, and lemon zest. The body is particularly commendable, as the power, extraction and oak is counterbalanced by copious amounts of minerals. There can be a bit more acidity to provide uplifting acidity. Finish is quite long, complex and layered as the heat is unmistakably there to conclude the experience. Quite an impressive profile, given that the wine tastes like a generous Meursault that sees racy minerals.
