Mouth - medium body, medium intensity, red apple, melon, lychee, mild pear, hint of caramel, medium long finish, mod acid nicley balances the flavors
Summary - wow, complexity, balance and finesse off the charts
July 20, 2022 - Excellent and a surprising style. Saw it was 14.5% and expected a denser, Rich maybe butter / fat profile but it’s really not.
Mid to full, real bit of fresh lift on finish but a density and depth. Touch of marzipan and caramel as it opens. Great acidity and decent finish, sharp cut in a deep profile. Locelt
December 19, 2021 - Wow! Burgundy on steroids!
August 10, 2021 - Peach pit, stone fruit with some oak. Seems like a nice balance. Couldn’t stop drinking it. Killed the whole think by myself.
April 24, 2021 - I want so much to like this, because it's expensive. But it's just insipid.
April 17, 2021 - Good classic Cali chard but not overwhelming
January 14, 2021 - Jeb was right -- 100 points! Great complexity -- depth -- medium bodied,
November 5, 2020 - Aromas show some unusual notes of single malt scotch and ears of yellow corn. Also, ripe meaty red delicious apple. Big muscular texture and structure showing rich red apple flavors yet with a nice bright streak. A biit overdone? From Richie Vineyards, personally prefer Aubert’s hand with this vineyard. Maybe time will help, but today pushes my limits as oaky and a touch hot.
