Sharp, concentrated, taut. Reduced slightly in the beginning but unfurls slowly with notes of Meyer lemon, chalk, unripe pineapple, acacia, orange blossom and a hint of smoke. Fantastic effort, promises slightly more rounded notes as the oak integrates with time. — 6 months ago
Last bottle of the trip, taken to Napua at the Mauna Lani. Canary gold color, bright and cheery in the glass. Notes of citrus and kiwi, tropical fruit, wet stones, tan spice, vanilla and white acacia flowers. Rich and glycerol in the mouth, matched with serious acidity. Paired perfectly with a nice Onaga fresh catch, which turned out to be the best prepared fish dish of the trip. Young but drinking well. Aloha! — a year ago
This lovely wine comes off as only off dry due to the very high acidity. Well structured with medium body and a silky texture
Loads of lemon, green apple, pear, wet stone, Melon, acacia, pineapple, white pepper and beginning to show tertiary characters like honey, baked apple
Very good quality and will last for years. — 8 months ago
