  - Yellow color - Beautiful nose of cream and brioche. Flavors of baked apples, a slight spice and a lovely creaminess. Drinking beautifully right now!

  Popped and poured - light, slightly hazy, pale yellow color with powerful and youthful sweet citrus, grass, mineral and tropical fruit aromatics. Over time, this unfolded into sweet pink grapefruit and a touch of mineral. Dry and full-bodied, this is extremely elegant with a smooth acidity, medium tannin, and flavors of pineapple and citrus that rounded out into long finishing grapefruit. This is very drinkable right out of the gate and should drink well for the next 2-4 years. Would love to have a touch more acidity, but at this price point, it's a winner for me that I would drink or serve any time.

  Popped, poured & enjoyed over 5 hours. This still has a deep opaque purple color with fresh cedar and light plum on the nose. Deep flavors of red fruits with a slight spicy backbone with firm tannin and acid. Delightful to drink right now by itself for a quick glass of wine, but on hour 4, we paired with some good bread and a swiss cheese which mellowed out the flavors of the wine for a different, softer flavor profile. Drink this now or hold for another 5 years.
