The 2022 white blend is Picpoul, Clairette, Orange Muscat, Marsanne, Rousanne and Chardonnay. More Muscat than the Pet Nat, and the orange peel and floral notes are great. A little nutty, dried apricot, pear, yuzu, sea salt. Medium acid. Very good versatile and Rhône-inspired white. — a day ago
Aromatic and bright on the nose with apricot, pineapple, dried chrysanthemum, fresh herbs, and touch of vanilla. Some dried fruits characters on the very supple almost oily yet lively palate. Candied long finish.

Drinking well at 4 years of age. Viognier, grenache blanc, Marsanne and Roussanne. Silky texture, crisp, medium acidity with lemon skin, white peach, golden apple, white flowers, herbs, wet stone, and beginning to show some dried orange and lemon nuances. Beautiful with salt-roasted fish. Will drink well for another few years. — 11 days ago

Notes from December 2022 still apply. Pale to mid lemon in colour. Aromas of apple pie this time around. A medium to full bodied white - a note of rockmelon (cantaloupe) a good white for winter - Medium minus acid with good length. Drinking at its peak. — 25 days ago
This California white blend is very tasty, and is drinking beautifully now.
Deep gold in color.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity.
Showing red and green apples, light oak, Mediterranean spices, bitter herbs, earth, light vanilla, caramel and black pepper.
Long finish with almonds and limes.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Crisp and engaging.
This 9-year-old still has lots of acidity to take it another 5 to 10 years. A Delicious wine.
