Incredible. Makes me believe in sparkling again 💕 — 7 days ago
Nose has stuck match, candied pineapple, vanilla candy (pina colada?), warmed lemon peel, lemon meringue with faint moist chalk notes.
Palate has warmed lemon curd, chunky vanilla notes, almond cake, lithe with a medium finish.
Decanted 3H. $60 Costco.
Not inspiring at this date, incredibly youthful with likely two decades in front. Yet, a solid pair with grilled Steelhead Trout this evening. — 4 hours ago
Well isn’t this just a delight. A rather attractive, almost ruddy color. Translucent edges and long legs. The bouquet is so nice. More savory than fruity to be sure. Plenty of licorice and wet moss. Leather and lace, with a touch of violet. Those earthy aromas never fade, with fresh cut grass and idyllic spring meadows just for good measure. Dried cherries begin to take over after a bit of time. Still so fresh and alive smelling. A little blueberry compote and faded strawberries.
This is such a well balanced Burgundy at this point. Drinking very, very well at this age with plenty of life left in it. Medium bodied and smooth as all get out. The fruit is rambunctious and still youthful. I doubt this has even hit its prime yet. More delicious red cherries and blue fruits shine in the mouth. There’s an appropriate bit of oak, not too much, and restrained barnyard. I would have liked to see the funk set free but this is a wine that chooses not to dive headlong into that arena. Still, a seriously lovely pour. — 2 months ago
Brioche with sea salt, white pineapple apparition, frozen butter, lemon grass and lemon oil, lemon-poppy muffin. Medium mouthfeel boasts a creamy lemon curd, lemon pith, candied peel, tangerine, and sage backnote.

This is one of the best Sauvignon blanc I’ve ever had. Imagine the quality level of a fine white Burgundy. Different than any other Sauvignon Blanc I’ve had. Not Loire, not NZ, not Cali. Amazing. — a month ago
