June 16, 2014 - The RS is less now and more in balance with the acidity. There are some petrol notes on the nose. Peach and pear on the palate. Very nice drinking, and at 7% ABV, the lowest I remember! easy drinking too.

January 9, 2010 - More reminiscent of a Riesling than a Rhone blend (it may be mostly or all Viognier). A bit of RS. I think it needs some time in bottle to better integrate and be more complex and really show what this might be.
