The wine was advertised as being a white wine with the ability to age gracefully. It delivers on that promise. This bottle is the last of this vintage. Happy to have more of more recent vintages.

Not what I expected. This is a white wine blend meant to be had with food, as it is full bodied with a large mouthfeel of floral flavors and some woodiness. This drinks like a french style chard. Very elegant, not fruity or crisp, as was expected from this blanc/gris blend. Unique and different, but good. The wood and creaminess mellowed with time and as it warmed, next bottle will be opened earlier and served with food.

Graves has moved to the Napa Valley. This is one of the driest and most refined white wines I have had in a while. Minerality, tartness and lean, suppression of fruit, but body and complexity.

Creamy with a hint of hay on the nose. A graves wanna-be...

Nice, crisp offering from Chimney Rock. Not heavily oaked, very refreshing. Great warm weather wine.
