    August 21, 2016 - Mill Pond Family Reunion: Another very pretty bottle. A big hit with the whole family. Sipping this, nicely chilled, on a hot day by the pond with family and good - good memories.

    April 15, 2016 - I think Isaac's note below is spot on, and I got a good dose of lychee/exotic fruit as well. But if I were to give this wine a number score, I'd definitely go higher than 87 (probably more like a 91). Wines like this make me regret not cellaring more Riesling. So good.

    December 11, 2015 - I was worried this would be tired but, nope, plenty of life ahead. Fresh, peachy, honeyed, lime juice, crushed chalk. Creamy presence on the palate, bright acid cleans up the slight sweetness. Impressive stuff - this was a big hit at the holiday party, glad I brought it.
