February 25, 2024 - Pale gold medium body (13.5%) wine. Needed 40 minutes to open before green apple fruit with a hint of peach appeared. This is a bigger wine than the 2021 vintage and will be excellent in 2 years.
January 7, 2024 - Peach and citrus. Lucious finish. Will even get better with cellaring.
November 26, 2023 - Nor oaky or buttery. Lots of lemongrass and citrus. A nice balanced wine and very drinkable.
October 29, 2023 - On the nose there was a reductive note of struck match and flinty minerals mixed with some interesting vanilla,nut, green apple and lemon zest fruit , felt fuller bodied on the mouth feel, with decent acidity and lots of fruit. Bit tight on the mid palate that should soften with a few more years. Would love to try some of these with a bit of bottle age
September 22, 2023 - Has some of the reductive character. Nahh... actually more highly oaked than reductive. Pretty and beautiful fruit to it. Beautiful fruit character to it.
