  Spectacular wine. Intensely buttery with flavors of apricot, persimmon and subtle peach undertones all built upon a mineral rich foundation. Finish was as long as it gets, developing the flavor even further in between sips/bites. Paired phenomenally with KBBQ style cheese corn with black truffle and a lobster spaghetti.

  This was quite lovely. There was a weight of honeysuckle, along with some vibrant acidity. Quite rich and extended.

  White and yellow peach along with light citrus notes on the nose. Medium bodied (8% ABV) with white peach upfront, then adding some pear and apple. Mid-body starts off on the whitefruit side, but quickly gains depth along with yellow and then gold peach along with pineapple and passion fruit. Backside has good acidity which provides structure and combined with lime and other citrus notes, adds good contrast. Mineral notes through the finish along with just a touch of sweetness. Feels like this wine has started to turn the corner from the whitefruit and acidity dominated youth the next stage with increasing fruit density in a more richly expressed style. No worries about this wine fading as it should continue to evolve for several more years to come.
