N: class. Breeding. Smells expensive. Deep but not over the top. Pencil shavings. Peeking florals. More as it opens.

P: silky. Perfect sweet cherry fruit. Hint of bitter. Delicious. But elegant. Long. Juicy.

Knowing Platt and VV’s reputation, I wanted to give this a spin.

My expectation for a VV white was along the lines of their reds (polished, suave, opulent), but this came across in a different style. Bright yellow in the glass with fresh citrus and honeysuckle aromatics. On the palate this trends more pretty/elegant vs powerful/opulent…if trying blind, I think I’d place this in Oregon. Lemon cream, lemon-lime and a small presence of tangerine with sea salt. Oak is there to frame it but not obtrusive. Good vein of acidity down the middle with a crisp mineral finish. Well made.

I’d like to try another vintage since the notes are so strong, but at the $125+ range, not sure I’m there on a QPR basis. — 7 months ago

2023 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Love me some SLD cabbage. Medium-medium heavy body. Earthy, loamy, cocoa powdery nose. Striated richness throughout with sleek raspberry and baking chocolate accents. Wow. Phenomenal shizz. Picked up a 3-pack. Top 5 Napa new vintage cab tasted in 2025 (and tasted waay too many new Best In Show wannabe's this year). 09.25.25. — 6 months ago

Whoa Nelly that’s a nose! Potent as being nosed out of sleep by my cat in the morning (ps I lied and told him that Xinomavro the grape was named after him, not vice versa). Full of dark red cherry, pepper, herbs (the wine not my cat, he’s just full of Fancy Feast) the palate echos the nose bringing in an amaro-esque element. I want more! — 2 years ago
