August 26, 2017 - Cellar diminishment party - brief note. Our last bottle and it continues to impress, with plenty of fruit remaining. Good stony quality with hints of citrus and lanolin in the finish.
December 10, 2016 - This coninues to drink well. Lemon and honeysuckle with earthy clay/mineral undertones. There are still glimpses of a yourhful freshness here. Citrus, stone and pear flavors with a medium+ finish.
October 19, 2016 - I brought this along to see how it's holding up, knowing that tlv is a fan of roussanne. Deeper color with notes of mineral and waxy apple fruit. Full-bodied with a lengthy finish. We have two bottles left which I'll plan on drinking within the next year or two.
October 19, 2016 - Opened by Allred at Anvil. I thought this bottle was in a beautiful place and really opened nicely during dinner as it warmed a bit. I'm a sucker for Roussanne. 92+
September 7, 2016 - Still very much alive and pleasant, with a dominant tropical edge to the fruit on the nose and palate. There's a nice stony/minerally quality as well. A fair tariff at $30, but a steal at $13 on bin end.
January 28, 2015 - Deep color. Beeswax, white orchard fruit, mineral and melon aromas. Rich texture, with flavors of candied lemon peel, stone and mineral, apple and beeswax. Drinking very well right now.
October 29, 2014 - Opened by Allred at Anvil. 2nd bottle in last 7 months, and it is apparent that the last bottle was flawed in some way. This had a waxy melon quality that morphed into a caramel corn finish. It was like liquid Cracker Jack.
October 29, 2014 - Rich but not heavy. White fruit, mineral and lanolin notes. Drinking very well.
March 22, 2014 - 2nd warmup white opened by Allred at 4th Saturday group. Floral notes again with a bit of citrus. Guessed viognier as I thought there was a theme developing here.
March 22, 2014 - 4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Our house): Nowhere near as good as previous bottles, so hopefully this was just in a bad phase or an off bottle. Rich, waxy texture with melon, lanolin and citrus qualities and a bit of an odd funky quality.
