Similar to the 2017. However, darker in color which shows on the palate. On the palate silky smooth just enough sweetness, but by no means heavy or syrupy. But it does have more weight than last year, Still has the flowery honey with Meyer lemon infused juice. On the finish I find myself trying to extract as much of the lemony/honey/flower off of my tongue but there is a slight amount of tartness. Another winner.
Good and solid. Hard to justify at $40/375mL when their unoaked Chardonnay and basic appellation Pinots are in the same price range. Really pretty flowery scents like orange flowers and honey. It’s not super rich over the top either. It could use some more acid though. Sugar is also present but not the dominant characteristic. Reminds me of honey, peaches, tropical fruits and some cinnamon-y funk that I like. I’m not sure how this will evolve but I plan on revisiting a bottle every Christmas season. I feel it might lose its prettiness if it ages more than 5 or so years, which is the endearing characteristic. Does the job with some Humboldt Fog.
