December 18, 2020 - Rich and creamy for sure, and a pretty good bottle if you are a fan of that style. There was a bit of a funk on bottle as others have noted. Just okay in my book
Edited to note that day 2 and 3 did not do this any favors. -

October 18, 2019 - By and large a decent wine. One more example of the "non-Californian" style. More minerals. But the wine was a bit flabby and lost some of its crispness as it lost its chill. A decent wine but definitely not worth its price tag.

June 17, 2019 - It took at least 25 minutes for a lot of bottle funk to blow off. I've had this experience before with this wine. Once it does, it's quite pleasant.
