July 28, 2019 - Really lovely wine. As noted, some nice acidity. Notes of sea shell, lemon curd. There is some nice subtlety and tension here. Not as much depth as I would like -- and a long pleasant finish that has a slight very subtle bitter note. Maybe this needs a few more years? This is definitely worth pursuing given the price point.

May 24, 2015 - A really nice wine, seems to me this producer gets white wines and does a fine job with them. Solid acidity at first, takes about 60 minutes to soften up, really good with food (halibut). I want more.
