February 25, 2024 - Still alive and kicking. I found 5 bottles at auction and just couldn't pass up. Shared 2 with friends. Was better slightly chilled by nobody was complaining!

June 4, 2021 - This wine is actually rather astringent. I have had others that are older that were in the wheelhouse. Which makes me wonder if this one was sort of in a strange place. Either way, the notes here are Asian pear mostly. Still jagged on the opening with sharp acidity. Melon and kiwi. Finishes very crisp. The only question now is whether or not this one needed to stay in the bottle for another couple of years. After it was open for an hour, it was more integrated and balanced. Really nice wine.

June 21, 2020 - Meyer lemon, ripe melon and peach. High intensity of both flavors and aromas. Medium + body. Shockingly, some acid! Pair with a cheesy pasta dish and you are in flavortown.

April 23, 2020 - A laser beam of citrus with a hint of lemon rind on the finish. Tons of acidity but enough flavor to keep it interesting. Exactly what I was expecting/hoping for. D&R always delivers

March 29, 2020 - A perfect match with a roasted turkey! Served at slightly below cellar temperature. Wil do this again.
