April 22, 2021 - Continuing to shine. Pale gold. Aromas of roses and lemons. Good balance of acidity and lemon, if a bit more mellow now. Some green apples. Round texture, with a long finish. This is the last of 6.

July 18, 2020 - Delicious. Served very chilled on 95 degree day, poolside and with and after dinner. Went fine with sausage and various veggies, prob best on own. Could sip all day, even when warms just as good. Great QPR.

June 4, 2020 - Pale straw, hint of green.
Nose: Deep grassy notes, white flower, smoke, lime peel.
Mouth: A smooth sheen of sweet white pear glides through and picks up streaks of honeysuckle,mango, green melon, and powdered granite. Powdery honeysuckle and dried pea pod come through at the end, firing into an extended finish.
Overall: Distinctive, elegant, and pure, everything comes through on a glossy sheen, picking up steam in the various flavors over time and lingering as it goes. The green notes that shine through will have detractors, but the base level of quality here is high enough to more than make up the difference. Note that 12% Semillon is here in a nod to Bordeaux, but the Sauvignon still certainly holds reign. Maybe more resonant for it, this is a winner. 88% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon. Drink now - 2022.
