Unscrewed and poured; no formal notes. These friggen Chardonnays from Margaret River. I’ve been blinded on them too many times to count and I never call it right. Instead, I always seem to call a high acid grape like Riesling of Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit is sometimes tropical, always with citrus and sometimes is shows green apple and always with awesome minerals. Acid is squarely in the high category. They are lovely wines that just seem to throw me for a loop. If Chablis, the Mosel and Sancerre had a love child. Drink now and through 2036 easy. A fabulous pairing with lamb massaman, larb and papaya salad. How can they hide the 100% new French oak so well?! — 6 months ago

RICH - creamy, papaya, pear jam with a dab of peach - they stir aggressively to get the tannins to stay — 2 years ago

Meyer lemon, papaya, spearmint, gooseberry, and honey characteristics have now developed, salty crushed rocks (seashore). Always a beautiful wine! — 2 years ago

White BDX is almost always a value and such a versatile food pairing wine. Initially the Sauvignon Blanc dominates, but with time the Semillon (75%) takes center stage: wet gravel, green papaya, ginger, green melon, grapefruit, green fig, Burt’s Bees lip balm… as the glass warms up, there are even some peach/mango notes coming through and I get more of that mid palate Semillon weight and depth. This wine wants oysters, but also plays well with coconut chicken curry & sticky rice. Such a classic. — 3 years ago

Another great year. This actually tastes better now with some air. Watermelon, strawberries, papaya, brine, light citrus, lingering minerals and acidity at the finish. Wonderful! — 3 years ago

This wine keeps getting better! Papaya, mango, asparagus, peach, butter on toast, tarragon herbs, fennel. Some chalk and hot stones. Really very, very good. — 3 years ago
