  Very nice tonight with lots of lean , green orchard fruit, mouth watering acidity and firm minerality. There’s good depth and concentration here. The excessive oak that I noticed on my last bottle has already integrated to the point that it’s hardly noticeable.

  A perennial favorite of mine. Tonight this bottle was drinking well after an hour or so of air with lots of rich orchard fruit, bracing acidity and a firm underlying minerality at its core. There’s just a bit more oak than I usually prefer, but this is clearly on the youngish side so I suspect the oak treatment will integrate more thoroughly if given more time.

  Light lemon color. White flower, apple nose; quite nice. Entry is strong with a good buttery weight mid-mouth. Tangy finish. This is tasty if fairly straightforward. Obviously a bit early still but in just a year or so this is nice. Very good with a yellow fish curry.
