  May 20, 2021 - Bigger and bolder on the nose then some. In other words kinda classic Napa. Candied fruit character. The muscet clone making it weightier and more powerful.

  December 14, 2019 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 6 *shared* bottles] from 12/13/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “A blend of several blocks on SE facing slopes, planted @ 500-1,000 ft. elev in the rock-driven vyd soils of the W ridge of the Mayacamas Mtns; Clones 1, Musque, & 376 planted 1997, but grafted in 2012 & 2010 to rootstock 3309C & 110R; Inoculated yeast fermenting in neutral FR oak barrels, foudres, & s/s tanks lees stirred monthly; Aged 5 mos in neutral FR oak; 646 cases bottled 4/18/18. 14.1% ABV, 0.62 g/100mL T.A., & 3.24 pH;”
  
  N: Closed; A melding of grass, tropical frts, & toast?
  
  P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) counterbalanced by an acidity fairly seamlessly leads into a LONG, balanced, tangy/SWT finish with POSS the *barest* HINT of a very, VERY slight bitterness? NICELY done, could improve a bit for 3-6 mos, then drink into '22? My EXC-; 91 pts Vinous (Galloni, 5/1/19). [Check with this vendor if interested in their *very* COMPETITIVE price.]

  December 1, 2019 - Pop and Pour
  
  Crushed gravel, lemon zest, glycerine, and classic floral tones. Medium body with nice weight and well rounded structure.
  
  Great drink at price point

  August 14, 2019 - New Zealand nose with mineral tones. Palate less NZ, clean, mineral driven, tart structure with phenolics. Excellent value. Not quite Sancerre style but leans that way.
