2007 Lime, lime pith and lemon peel hold strong despite age. Lemon madeleines, orange oil, tangerine pith, lemongrass, evergreen. Orange peel, lemon oil and lemongrass forefront, while lime neutralizes to background color green olive swims in the lime, chamomile, kefir lime, grape leaf, crystalline salinity. Bright and ripe after 15 years!

Dark tawny color. Mostly opaque. Notes of black cherries, evergreen trees, oak barrel and some spice. Good fruit and structure in the mouth. An herbal thing exists. An OK wine. No need to wait longer for it. — 4 years ago

Popped and poured just below my cellar temp (which is currently at 59°F); enjoyed over the course of two days. Consistent throughout. The 2006 pours a reflective, straw color with silvery rim. Medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is developing. Notes of lemons, limes, honey, cashews and oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium++ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super chalky. This is absolutely killer Chablis that almost seems evergreen. Drink now through 2031.

Who would have thought that a WA white would age well. This one is proof. Still a nice bit of acidity to it. Went really well with our chicken dish tonight. Saving some for tomorrow. — 3 years ago

Evergreen, pine, pear and grapefruit on the nose.

Acid and more acid for days on the palate. — 4 years ago

Pop and pour. I want to follow, but this is disappearing very quickly. On the nose, the word purity comes to mind; all the aromas are so well-delineated and yet simultaneously well-blended. Lime oil, crushed pine nuts, evergreen sap, loads of crushed stone, peach. On the palate: fantastic acidity, absolutely amazing density, wet stone, sappy lime, soft reduction. The intensity is really amazing, and a fantastically long, slightly spicy finish. — 2 years ago

Opened up after a few hour decant, but still needed a marbled steak for balance. Deep dark blackberry pie, tobacco, evergreen needles, and uplifted cranberry. Well balanced with great purity of fruit and persistent length. American oak flavors surround both red and black forest berries. Still very youthful... definitely decant or cellar. — 4 years ago

What’s the latest on the debate about Pigato and Vermentino being genetically identical? In this wine, there’s plenty of Pigato on the nose, but the evergreen flavor is uniquely Vermentino to my palate. — 4 years ago
