  July 5, 2020 - Nose of cut grass, star fruit, shortbread and macadamia nut. Flavors of lemon, pie crust, nut and just a hint of passion fruit. Ends with a 20+ second finish with lemon notes. Quite a nice and distinctive wine. Not your typical White Bordeaux.

  January 28, 2020 - An unusual blend of 38% Sauvignon Gris, 37% Gros Manseng, 15% Mondeuse Blanche and 10% Savagnin. 13.5% ABV.
  
  Paleish, light to medium yellow-golden colour. Lime, pear, exotic fruit, almond and spice, with good acidity and a bitter-fresh finish. Medium-bodied, with good length. Very distinctive. But unsettled at this point; hold for at least three years and start drinking from 2023. 88+ for now.

  September 1, 2019 - Unexpectedly unusual, and one of my favorite whites this summer. Stonefruit up front, with background notes of mixed herbs and honey. Low to medium acidity, and sporting some weight. A light citrus note pops in on the medium-long finish.
