From a half bottle. This is a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. It is a late harvest dessert wine. Light gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has honey along with a touch of peach. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous. On the palate, this has some sweetness but that has probably faded since release. Some honeyed notes. Moderate finish. These need to be drunk up at this point. It works better with some food. Cheese or less sweet pastries would work.
Hay/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has lots of gun powder/sulfur with some pineapple and baking spice. Medium bodied. Nice texture. On the palate, peach and lemon cream with nice acidity. Nice finish. This is a bigger, rounder Sauvignon Blanc which has a lot of oak showing at this young stage. It drinks well on its own and will work with some foods. Pasta Primavera might be one. The fruit will likely fade before the oak integrates, so drink up in the next few years.
This is a nice white from Mike Smith at Myriad. Light golden in color. The nose is a bit waxy with lemon (a slight furniture polish note) and nice minerality. slightly viscous and slightly oily in texture. On the palate there is a nice lemony note along with underlying minerality. Crisp. Good finish. This is drinking well now. it probably should be consumed in the next few years to enjoy its vibrancy but no doubt it can last longer. It will go well with chicken salad or other lighter foods and sea foods.
One of the first 2020's I have tried and this is a beauty.
