  March 14, 2020 - Pale straw but a bit oxidized. Nice acidic backbone with apricot, peach, and mango notes. Overall really pleasant and a fun Spring wine. Great with poultry.

  September 30, 2017 - Yellow. Fragrant mix of orange and herbs. Medium weight with a beautiful combination of verve from its acidity and a caressing texture that is not imparted by wood. Lively, fresh fruit and ever increasing garrigue. A fascinating, wonderful wine with elements that remind me at times of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Grand Cru white Burgundy.

  May 12, 2016 - Blend of several grapes, of which only Vermentino is known to me. Good acids, exotic nose of herbs and pit fruits, on palate full and a little oily but with good acidic lift.Stony mineral finish. At various points through night I see resemblances to white Rhone, Pigato, and Chablis! A-/B+

  December 12, 2015 - Light yellow. Zesty, slightly bitter citrus. Begins light but then adds body and creaminess. Deeply flavored with orange and herbs. Excellent acidity and the finish is full of soil. Perhaps not as stunning as last time but still quite a fascinating wine.
