November 21, 2023 - Pale gold in the glass. Expressive nose with kiwi, starfruit and and waxy lemon together with almonds and hay. Medium bodied with good freshness and a fair amount of grip. Peach and caramel emerge on the palate with good persistence.

ONEFIVE Likes this wine:
October 29, 2023 - Tons of mineral, greenery, lemon candy, unripe pineapple, and spice.
Full body, low tannin, med acid.
This is rich and round but lifted and vibrant.
Well balanced and a pleasure to drink now.
Will definitely hang on for a few more years before developing richer darker notes. -

September 23, 2023 - It’s been awhile since I’ve had one of these. Now I remember why this is one of my all time favorite white wines. Such a well put together wine, this is clearly in its window. Pop your corks now, it won’t get better.

September 5, 2023 - Fully mature, the display of slightly, honeyed, citrus, white peach and tropical orange fruits on the nose and palate hits the spot. Round, soft and lush, there is ample freshness to keep it lovely. Drink from 2023-2027.
