Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is smoky with lemon notes. Medium to full bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, lemons and lemon candy with a bit of minerality. A bit lower in acidity than expected but enough. Nice finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another ten to twelve years. It drinks well on its own but is better served with food. This would be nice with grilled Salmon.
Visiting wine country? Why spend $250 per day in tasting fees when you can get the wine pass and pay less then half of that? 1 Day with the wine pass = $125+ in savings. 2 Days with the wine pass = $250+ in savings. The Priority Wine Pass
Quite the treat! Served to me by friends! Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose takes some time to open, and then orange/tangerine, peach, slight almond flour and a bit of a floral note. Medium bodied with a slightly oily (in a good way) texture. On the palate, this takes some time to open and then shows peach, tangerine, and stony minerality. Delicious. Long finish. This is young and will undoubtedly improve over the next seven to ten years. It should drink well for another ten to twelve after that. That said, it offers up so much energy and intensity now, it would be
Served to a group blind. I thought it was a bit oxidized (just slightly) which is worrisome. The group guess was California although I leaned to a more modern, bigger Chablis. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some lemons with oak/spice but a streak of apple cider. Not fresh apples thought perhaps that was there too. On the palate, apples with some cider notes. Slightly oily texture (which is why I thought Burgundy). Some viscosity. Slightly flabby. It was likely the oak and the lack of acid that led the group into thinking it was from California. OK finish.
Silvery/gold in color. The nose is very nice with gunpowder and slight lemon chiffon. On the palate, this is slightly oily. Nice lemony notes. OK acidity. A very nice wine that should work with lighter foods. Fresh and lively right now. It should be good for another five to ten, but it won't improve.
This wine is in a beautiful place right now. Medium gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit, slight orange peel, with a slight touch or caramel. Full bodied. Complex. On the palate, quince with slight grapefruit. Good acidity. Long finish. This is great on its own and would be excellent with shellfish. Though it will last long, drink in the next few years to catch at peak.
Light golden in color. The nose is nice with minerals/slight chalk and lemon chiffon. On the palate, this has a nice acidity. Works well with food. Some lemons but more about the minerality. Long finish. Not sure how this will age but at 5 years from vintage, it is in a great place. Refreshing but with some complexity.
