Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchards and citrus fruits: green apple, lemon curd, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now through 2032. — 15 days ago

Presented to me double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine presents a straw color moving towards a silvery rim; medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is bright with notes of lemon/lime citrus, some tropical fruits, cashews, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+, bordering high acid. The finish is medium+ and there was a textural thing that was sort of giving me woolly vibes. Initial conclusions: this could be a Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay or Albariño from France, the United States or Spain. Because the non-fruit and structure seemed to show the most and I sensed some French oak, I was leaning towards France. I kinda liked Chardonnay but the combination of texture and higher acid had me debating on Chenin, and I went with that. Chenin Blanc from France, from the Loire, Vouvray Sec 2018. In hindsight, I should have thought a bite more about 1er or GC Chablis as an option. Whatever, this was tasty stuff. Drink now through 2030 with ease. — 5 months ago

Trying this lovely French Syrah a year later, still a bit reduced, but lovely purity of fruit with mineral undertones, nice balance, a quintessential midweek, no-guilt, drinker!! — 25 days ago

@Neal Martin is, as usual, spot on with his note, but I prefer the VV bottling. — a month ago
