Nose: The nose is deep and balanced with navel oranges, red apples, lemon curds, citrus tones, minerals, white fruits, and some pears. There is excellent layering to the nose already with a real classiness.

Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium/high acidity. The structure is youthful, but there is polish to the feel with navel oranges, lemon curds, citrus tones, white fruits, and a very attractive mineral base.

Overall: This could've used some more air, but it was still a really good young chardonnay. There is a lot to like and it will be interesting to see where this goes with age.

Nose: This is an old school Hermitage with olive tapenade, wild game, black fruits, roasted meats, campfire embers, and some animale tones. The nose is deep with a real rustic and savory edge to it.

Taste: Full bodied with medium acidity and chewy tannins. While the tannins are most certainly there, they aren't too overpowering with olive tapenade, wild game, black fruits, black cherries, campfire embers, and a good dose of animale tones on the back end.

Overall: This was a real treat. This is sadly in the extinct producers category, but it's great to come across this and have the pleasure to try something that harkens to a different era.

Overall: This was a tasty and balanced riesling. The freshness on the nose certainly carried over to the palate while having excellent balance too.

Nose: There is a bit of sulfur on the nose with some egg tones, but it blows off into peaches, wax, candied apples, petrol, and some mineral tones.

Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is well in place and provides a nice spine with honey tones, peaches, wax, candied apples, and some minerals
