June 10, 2023 - Prior bottle was almost 19 months ago and this wine remains in a great spot. Light floral notes on the nose along with mainly white apple and peach, with hints of pear and saline. Medium bodied with white apple and white peach upfront and through the middle. The combination of roundness and tartness worked quite well, especially with some light pear highlights. Mid-body has come together well, showing very good fruit expression and melding cleanly with the backside tart notes, lemon and saline. The saline quality in particular lingers through the finish. While still showing plenty of tart qualities (especially when cooler), the fruit and structure balance has improved since my prior bottle. Should continue to evolve slowly, yet positively along these lines. I may open my next bottle as soon as Q4 2023.

July 21, 2022 - Nectarine, mirabelle plum, lemon peel and saline. Long, crisp finish with a distinct saline streak. Well balanced. A very good QPR. Served with lemon garlic chicken.

June 14, 2022 - Lemon, white peach, chamomile, and quince notes lead the way, supported by ample minerality and lively acidity. Round, showing just a bit of ripeness and heft. Excellent pairing with chicken piccata.
