April 2, 2024 - My last of my half case. This has been easily in my 10 ten white wines . However this bottle did not quite perform as past bottles. I’m not sure if this is the bottle variation or if it getting long in the tooth. I think it’s time to pop the corks on these.

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.

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. -
