June 14, 2014 - Bottle 11 of a case bought 5 years ago….pretty much all have been fantastic! 85% SB, 15% Semillon…..a little petrol funk showing out of the gate…reminds me of the 2000 Haut Brion Blanc just had….as well as nice limestone chalk minerality and waxiness….to go along with the TOTALLY tropical fruits (coconut, pineapple, banana, mango)….but sharp as a tack with citrus squeeze acidity. Throw in some dried exotic white honey, creamy lemon butter, Half Moon Bay flower stands(really!), candied papaya……you have an amazingly unique and tasty Cali Fume here…aging perfectly! Love it!

June 28, 2012 - Medium yellow still drinking quite well. Highly floral nose that includes a bit of honeyed lime and pineapple. Rich and full in the mouth, with a long tropical finish. Showing well at this age.

November 11, 2011 - Way past its prime. For those familiar with this wine, at this stage, it resembles none of its promise or glory.

November 21, 2010 - Popped and poured. Wow, this is fascinating stuff. It's not like anything else I've had. The nose is packed with herbs, especially tarragon and sage. On the palate, great acid, no oxidation, subtle lemon fruit, and the herbs carry over. One word of warning: drink it with a good chill and/or fast - at the end of the night, at room temperature, it was downright bad, tasting like fermented cat pee.
