From a 500ml bottle (which is a great size for a white wine) as part of their futures program. Golden in color, a bit deeper in tone (oak?). The nose is classic Rhys, lemon curd, vanilla, slight citrus and spice. Full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is delicious. Lemon Cream, vanilla, and spice. Dry. Long finish. This is wonderful on its own and went quite well with Garlic Hummus and assorted veggies. Drink over the next ten years (in this format).
This is a 51/49 blend of 49% Bedrock Semillon, 35% Bedrock Sauvignon Blanc, and 16% Judge Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma County. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, wax, slight floral notes and minerality. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is crisp with lemon flavors and underlying minerality. Long finish. This is very nice on its own and will work well with many foods. A nice choice with scallops. Drink over the next two to three years.
Always one of the best Chardonnay's. Light goldeen in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with green apples, spice, slight vanilla, and a hint of salinity. Full bodied. Voluptuous texture but crisp acidity. On the palate, this is delicious. The first sip reminds one of why they love Chardonnay. Flavors of apples, spice, slight vanilla, and a rocks/mineral quality that keeps the wine from going over the top. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. This is great on its own and would be great with many foods. A Seafood Pasta in a creamy garlic sauce would work well.
