Grassy pungency on the scent and taste, but not overpowering as one finds in some New World Sauvignon Blancs. Melon and kiwi, and also if one can imagine a fruit like a pineapple but with lemon-level acidity. This review is for the 2017. — 12 days ago

Very fruity nose, raspberries and cherries with a slight hint of roses. Same flavor profile on the palette with but more jam-like and with the addition of currant jam. Makes a nice dessert pairing. — 8 months ago

Lemon, green apple, and mineral on the nose. On the palette, a perfect level of acidity gives a beautiful creamy mouthfeel. — 25 days ago

Tasting the 2006 vintage. Surprisingly Sauvignon Blanc-like nose, with pineapple grassy pungency. The taste is like cinnamon toast spread with pineapple jam. Extraordinary like a Sauvignon Blanc despite being Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. — 8 months ago
