Aromatic with ripe stone fruits, underripe high acidic tropical fruits such as starfruit and passion fruit, light touch of limestone, and petrol. The firm spine of acidity stand up nicely to the Sichuan hotpot while the broad lush palate provides calming effect. Dry but very nice hint of sweetness. — 5 years ago

Complex and top-notch but very sweet. Needed some really spicy food, less enjoyable on its own. Hard to believe this was pitched to me as sec / Demi-sec — 7 years ago

Nose shows black cassis, and ripe plum, cedar, dark chocolate, and subtle dried herbs. The palate is rich and poised, framed by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Long candied and savory finish.

One of the top Cuvee from this Dry Creek based producer, which is somewhat still under the radar. — 6 months ago

Beautiful gewurtz that paired nicely with a dinner of spicy, smokey, and citrus sushi and wagyu beef dishes.

Pale golden yellow. Beautiful aromatics of honeysuckle, nectar, apricot and lychee. Features a medium sweet and fruit forward palate with tropical fruits, starfruit, apricot, mango, and peach. Underlying it all is a slate and mineral component, like petrichor. Good acidic structure. — 4 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Pops conductor Keith Lockhart is leading a live-to-picture performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, a showing of the classic 1977 film, with the Orchestra performing Mr. Williams’ iconic score.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.)
Generally we get to hear Star Wars scores a couple times per season here at Tanglewood, but tonight we get a chance to hear them with the backdrop of the movie (Episode IV) that launched a franchise, to say the least!

I celebrated another full trip around the sun, since my coming into this world, earlier this week. Tonight my wife, some dear friends and me will be enjoying some enticing wines along with our movie night. So notes...maybe, but I'll try!

Bought this in 2014, how we managed to hold it this long is beyond me... Didn't pay the price in the picture, wish I had though.

Nose has dirty honey, dried orange peel, very over-ripe tangerine and dried citrus.
Palate has orange honey, dried honeysuckle, dehydrated orange peel, partially dried orange, very dry lychee and faint rose petal.
Just a fantastic bottle, with a fully intact cork! Happy birthday for sure! — 7 years ago

I have fond memories of Michel-Schlumberger - my first Sonoma trip! My wife had a work event there. The scenery was beautiful, the wine amazing. Got a winery tour and took a Riedel glass class. That ruined me - totally bought into the right glass/right wine theory. I now have 8 different glasses. The trip and that night were transformative and turned me into the snob I am today.
The wine is silky smooth. Fruit and spice-filled nose, showing blackberry, currant, baking spice, chocolate, and cedar. Lovely. — 8 years ago
