Bright and citrusy, good cut and a quiet herbal undercurrent. Needs time.

This is the best young version of this I've had; usually my preference is letting them rest for another few years. Great fruit, sappy, and a good acidity. Delicious, and will also be good with some more time.

You can feel the space that used to be filled with fruit, which for me is a good thing. More open room for this to spread out into and reveal the floral, herbal and honeyed notes that were formerly steamrolled over. A touch of oxidation starting to creep in, but for now that's a welcome addition to the whole.

A new discovery for me. Great wine. Perfect for summer, or our LA winter.

Very refreshing - more like a German white than a Rhône one.

Consistently tasty Rhone style white. Easy to drink, great value.

Tasty white for a warm day. A bit more acidity than I remember.
