  Tasted at Wine & Spirits Top 100 NYC. This bottle was just opened and wasn’t really very opened up yet, but a beautiful wine nonetheless. On the lean and old-world side of the spectrum. Crisp, herbal, floral, with citrus and apple. Long. Would be better with some aeration and a few more years in a cool cellar. Previously tasted at the tasting room in September ‘23 with more detailed notes.

  Tasted at Cristom Winery tasting room. The wine was aged for 11 months in 24% new French oak and then another 5 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks. Slight matchstick on the nose with some apple and melon. Palate is more citrus-oriented with lemon curd, lemon zest and plenty of wet stone and flint. Nice texture with medium-high acidity. Quite well-balanced with a broad texture. Flamed meringue and saline finish. Classy wine.
