Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a straw color with medium viscosity and no signs of sediment or particles. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of green apple, passion fruit, nuts, brioche, nuts and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Alcohol seemed a touch elevated. Initial conclusions: this could be Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Albariño or maybe even Riesling from the United States, France, Spain, Germany or even Australia. This was tricky because the fruit was pretty forward and yet, there was really good acid and the oak use seemed deft. I was pretty confident in Chardonnay ended up vacillating between United States and France, ultimately calling Chardonnay, United States, California, Sonoma County, 2022 as my final conclusion. I don’t hate my call. I often forget Pouilly-Fiussé. I should sharpen up a bit. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2033. — a month ago

Golden in color, so well balanced with tart tangerine and nectarine to slightly sweeten, a little briny with some oak, very enjoyable. @ Louhans Marina — 6 years ago

2024 summer. This is being sold at a steep discount by the importer because of marks on the bottles, so I bought several. Notably golden, with lots of spicy apple pie and a bit of vanilla ice cream on the nose. Reveals flashes of mineral and lemon over several days - curious to compare to the other bottles — a year ago

Big ripe fruit, vanilla, snappy acid. Lovely mid weight Chardonnay, young for sure but I can dig it. — 4 years ago

Right Bank Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of ripe red fruits, vanilla, fresh herbs and toast. Hint of menthol on the long and savory finish. Soft tannins and excellent balance. Thank you for sharing, Kase. — 2 years ago
