  September 24, 2023 - Opulent wine, golden hues with notes of lemon curd, honeysuckle, and white fruit. Great balance with mineral notes and long satisfying finish.

  August 18, 2023 - Decanted one hour before service. In the glass, cloudy medium-pale gold. On the nose, peaches, mangoes, and a bit of petrol. On the palate, a mix of tropical fruit, flint, and lemon with an oily, just-shy-of-viscous body, that gradually introduces acidity through the palate, leading to a bracing, refreshing finish. A perfect match for pan-seared steelhead trout.

  October 16, 2022 - Dark gold color. Orange zest and stone fruits on the nose. Deeply flavored on the palate, oranges, lemons, Granny Smith apples, vanilla, rich pear notes. Pleasant oily mouthfeel. Warm spice on the mid-palate. Lovely acidity, fine balance. Finishes long and subtle, crisp and cleansing. Short term aging has served this wine well. Drink next 5 years. 13.1% ABV. Second day it was not as crisp, and the fruit seemed a bit muted (although still quite nice). 55% Grenache Blanc; 32% Rousanne; 8% Chenin Blanc; 5% Petit Manseng.
