Sadly over the hill. Strong gold color, suggesting beginning oxidation. Caramel on the first sip, but still showing good fruit after opening. Don't keep these around any longer if you have any left.

Medium golden color. Brassy. Butterscotch nose. Brassy in the mouth - caramel, oxidized and metallic. No fruit. Third bottle in a row I've had like this in the last six months. Sourced from the winery.
Epilogue: I queried Peay, and learned the Sonoma Coast cuvée has a higher pH (lower acidity) than the Estate bottling, so evolves and matures more quickly. Drink up.

Bright medium yellow, gold color. Nose of lemon curd, butter and tropical fruits. Pleasing texture on the tongue. Chewy, with the butter and tropical fruit, perhaps guava. Medium finish.

A shining star. So well balanced - with acid and fruit in harmony. Good value.
