  August 24, 2018 - ripe and a little hot on the palate. A hint of marzipan.

  October 3, 2016 - deliciously simple and yet complex - nectarine & jasmine with hints of honey and white pepper - unique in every sense

  July 22, 2016 - Poker night - Mostly double blind - Rayas, Masseto, Schrader, QC and etc. (Reston, Va): Double blind. Initially I am guessing Marcassin or Peter Michael because ripeness and alcohol but it doesn’t have enough acidity and the fruit profile reminds me Northern rhone. My guess is Chave hermitage but didn’t tell anyone. Justin guesses Chave hemitage. Assaf mentions the first nose is Viognier. I am now thinking it could be Georges Vernay Condrieu Coteau de Vernon but not enough acidity and freshness. Really good showing.

  July 29, 2015 - BYO - Erik: Lovely pear and starfruit flavors with a touch of vanilla but also laced with minerals and a solid acidity.
  Surprisingly fresh and a real pleasure to drink.
  Liked it a lot and probably the best white Rhone-blend I have tried from California.

  November 1, 2014 - Nice enough with rich tropical fruit and nutmeg, good minerality and a firm acidic core that's followed by longish finish, if it was half the price I'd say it was a really good bottle of wine, but at this price point I don't think it measures up.
