February 23, 2024 - Lemon at the front, leading into some light oak and medium body. Clean finish with refreshing hit of acid. Definitely an outstanding wine right now.

November 19, 2023 - Prior bottle was 5 months ago and this wine continues to show quite well with consistent notes. Pear and lemon with just a touch of creaminess on the nose. Medium bodied with white apple and brighter pear upfront. Fruit remains very clean and bright with very good definition through the mid-body and just a touch of additional depth and roundness. Light citrus and tart notes come in on the backside and the wine shows good overall balance between fruit and structure. Drinking well now and has the elements to remain in a high spot for several more years. Next bottle for me, June/July 2024.

November 18, 2023 - Tasted at the winery. Previously tasted from bottle 5 months ago and the wine remains in a very good spot. Apple, pear and lemon on the nose which seemed a bit more expressive than my prior bottle. Medium bodied with white orchard fruit notes (especially apple and pear) which has opened up just a touch as compared to my prior bottle. The defining characteristic of this wine is the very clean and very well-defined fashion that it expresses its fruit, especially through the middle. Citrus and other tart qualities provide the structure on the back. Balanced and in a very good spot for current drinking. Next bottle (after this weekend) will be June/July 2024.
