This and the Chardonnay were the best of the nite....big dark red and black fruit, weighted yet balanced on the palate with fruit, elegant mint/pine needle, acid and solid tannin structure. A blend of the 10 best barrels... Kudos to @Jasmine Hirsch who has taking over reigns of winemaker! We had a wonderful time! — 5 years ago

Golden in the glass. Big and structured. Tons of fruit. Almost too much for me. Jasmine, lemon curd, pear on the back palate. Touch sweet. 360 cases made. 13.7%. Clearly this wine was made with care and determination. Let’s see what the future brings. Will put this away for 3-4 years. — a year ago

Took a minute to warm up, but once it did the nose burst open with notes of leychee, jasmine and sweet floral notes. The flavor was off-dry, with a creamy floral sweetness that cascaded over the palate, with a slightly mineral/slightly spicy mid-palate, and ends with a dry minerality and taste of wet river stones on the finish. First Boxler but definitely won’t be the last. PS: as it continued to warm, I became aware of how fresh tasting the wine was. I’m still waiting on the food to finish, but I’m excited to see how it will emerge. — 4 years ago

The nose reveals; green apple, candle wax, lime candy, pineapple, tropical melons, cream, some buttered popcorn, white peach, honeycomb, dry & fresh herbs, soft, powdery chalkiness, saline, limestone minerals, volcanics, sea fossils, steeliness, vanillin, lanolin, cheese rind with yellow lilies/flowers, jasmine and fruit blossoms.

The mouthfeel is; full, round, lush and gorgeous with high viscosity. Green apple, candle wax, lime candy, very ripe, juicy pineapple flesh, kiwi, tropical melons, cream, some buttered popcorn, white peach, honeysuckle to honey, caramel notes, dry & fresh herbs, soft, powdery chalkiness, saline, hints of dry grass, grippy limestone minerals & grey volcanics, sea fossils, white spice, steeliness, vanillin, lanolin, cheese rind with yellow lilies/flowers, jasmine and fruit blossoms. The acidity is lively and round. The finish is minutes, nicely balanced in fruit & minerality, palate penetrating white spice with some mid intensity heat.

Gets better and better as it warms and opens up.

A Pét-Nat from Huet?! Aromas of apple cider, pineapple, quince, jasmine underpinned by lightly oxidative note. Creamy mousse, but faded rather quickly in the glass. Sharp acidity. Nice tug of war between sweetness and bitterness on the finish. — a year ago

A luscious demi-sec Vouvray. Floral nose with hints of jasmine and chamomile. The light sweetness on the palate provided notes of pineapple, melon, pear, and yellow apple. Great foil for spicy food! 100% Chenin Blanc. 2/17/23. — 3 years ago

"This wine is blissfully aromatic with delicate aromas of peach passion fruit and jasmine flowers on the nose. The palate is light, crisp and thoroughly refreshing, combining delicious tropical flavors with a twist of juicy limes" — 5 years ago
