Bought these partly hoping I might improve my position the red allocation list, but also because I wanted to try one of their wines to check the hype. Opened one last week and i’m now a believer. Exceeded my expectations and was up there with the best Napa Sauvignon Blancs I’ve had from Arkenstone and Memento Mori. This leans more to the lighter green and citrusy end of the spectrum and has just a hint of tropical notes with some really beautiful white peach and a chalkiness that I just loved. I’m sure you could wait some on this but honestly, I would drink it right now because the fruit here is excellent.

This is drinking really nicely right now. PnP last night after dinner. Wish I’d been able to scoop up more on Berserker Day as this was my last bottle. Excellent QPR here. Tannins well integrated, nice round mouthfeel with your go to black fruited / black currant notes, nice subtle chalky minerality / graphite and balanced acidity. Agree with notes below that this will get better and could use some more time to really come together but you’re not going to be upset drinking this over an hour or 2. If I had more I’d see this easily going another 5+ years.

Enjoyed this vintage. Earthy and well balanced. Always a nice surprise, still a shocker that it’s from my hometown.
