Lovely gold hue foretells the wine is in its drinking window. Nectarine and apricot speak to the Chardonnay/Viognier blend, brushed orange rind, with a whiff of match strike and grilled nuts.
Nicely rounded palate, satisfying richness, and at this stage more integrated than the top white, the estate Chardonnay. Mineral too.
In a sweet spot, looking far better than when last tasted two years back, but no drama to hold for a couple more years. A good advertisement for Chardonnay and Viognier buddying up, and the best New World example I’ve seen.

Peach, with an oily, faintly apricot aroma and texture. Interest on the palate, with a good fruit and oak balance. Earlier drinking style.
