September 14, 2018 - Still could use a bit more acidity, but otherwise coming together nicely since the last bottle.

July 29, 2018 - No notes other than it was the hit of the evening and a bummer it wasn't a 3 ltr botttle! LOL Remembering complex and yet balanced richness that held up to and complimented a fantastic grilled Chilean sea bass with a caramelized shallots & herbal butter cream sauce.

October 30, 2017 - You know when you're underwater with your eyes closed and don't know which way is up? That's the experience of sipping this amber gold wine. Ripe blood orange pungently on the nose, followed by golden apple, vanilla and brown baking spices. Taste and nose are harmonious, layering in a smooth buttery texture. Nicely balanced medium acid and a pop of white peppercorn (or depending on who you are, the light tartness of a kiwi core) on the finish. Great balanced wine and tremendous value.

June 18, 2016 - Aromas of apricot and peach which carry on to the palate with floral and mineral notes. Moderate finish that could use more acidity.
