  November 3, 2023 - Aroma: initial explosion of vanilla, then citrus, floral notes, stone fruits, guava, lychee, mint and herbal notes.
  Palate: lemon curd, creamy, bright acidity, with a long finish. Feels some warmth from the alcohol. Paired with a strata and salad. It was not a good pairing. Best to drink on day 1. 91

  July 7, 2022 - Mixed feelings about this wine. I really like Bordeaux Blanc, but usually not so much Cali SB. This was a much fruitier version of a Bordeaux Blanc, really hard to compare to that blend or any other. Very well made. Delicate florals and fruits on the intense nose, interesting tropical fruit palate. Better alone than with food as another reviewer has noted.

  April 2, 2022 - Aroma: citrus fruits, honeydew melon, pineapple, starfruit and lots of tropical fruit flavor profile.
  Palate: honeycomb, melon, citrus fruits, tart apples, full-bodied, bright acidity, with a long finish. This is a great drink-alone wine, not so much with food though. 92

  February 14, 2022 - Popped and poured. Lovely fulsome but still elegant nose with flowers, gooseberries and a little cut grass. The palate is medium to full bodied, with excellent acidity and depth. This is at a stage of early maturity where it is in an excellent drinking window but should stay here for another few years.

  August 7, 2021 - Slo-oxed for 20 minutes, chilled. The color was a clear medium-to-deep yellow. The medium to plus bodied palate showed good doses of lemon and spice, along with an ever increasing oak presence as the wine warmed. Good, juicy acidity.
  One of the least satisfying bottles of this wine that we've had. Not sure why, other than the ultimately overwhelming oakiness as the wine aired and warmed.
