Just ridiculously good and expensive orange wine. Nectarines, tart, turbid. Kombucha. Jasmine, Green tea. Citrus notes. Very very juicy and drinkable. — 2 months ago

Took some time to open up but became delicious. Lots of fruit but not sweet. The splash of viognier softened the Syrah a bit. — 2 months ago

Damn, the Germans have just laid down a great hand of cards in the Sauvignon Blanc game.
More tropical and spice notes than Loire or NZ, actually, strangely the nose is more similar (yet more elegant and restrained) to the finer North American SBs I've tried. Minerality is medium and hard to pick out a soil type. Acidity is on the lower side.
Flavours follow the nose with pineapple, pear, allspice, Rainier cherry.
I favored the bottle that was open for an hour+. The new bottle gave me a very 2022 sense (ie: a young tart) — a month ago

Wow. Much more restraint than the wine of old. This is fabulous. Tightly coiled dark fruit, subtle oak spice, and utterly delicious. Yum. — 5 months ago

Wow, really impressive. So tightly wound but with gorgeous structure and fruit. I would have expected a much higher Cab Franc percentage. So fine and sophisticated, loved it. — a month ago
