July 3, 2015 - Any fresh zippy fruit has melowed and carmelized into a deep yellow, nearly caramel colored elixir, almost unctuous with butterscotch notes. A bit of acid saves the day in the end but you have to be in the mood for a rich and concentrated stewed orchard fruit taste profile to enjoy this one.

June 15, 2015 - Loved it. Very yellow gold in color. It maybe slightly past peak, but wine is very rich, complex, and still holds a long finish. We enjoyed this with a grill,roasted chicken.

November 26, 2014 - Bright gold in the glass. Was concerned that it might be "bad," but one whiff allayed that fear. Incredible peach, apricot, pear and tropical fruit, with enough lemony acidity to hold it all together. Fantastic pairing with a seafood paella. Even my wife asked for more. Definitely a WOW!

May 13, 2014 - Wonderfully rich with balance of fruit & acidity that finishes longgggg. Didn't get so much the meyer lemon advertized, but more to my palate white peach & apricot Beautiful golden color in the glass. Poached Alaskan king salmon in beurre blanc sauce was an amazing paring.
