Generous, luscious butter and oak up front. Butterscotch, creek brûlée. This is followed by punching mineralogy, abrasive earth and pepper. Truly unique and an example of unity between contrasting styles.

Very good on this warm spring day in lock down Haha. Pineapple creme brulee oak and other tropical flavors. Much better than expected.

Hanging in there. Rich yet a bright streak of flavor persists. Great as we prep some chicken marsala.

Wasn’t sure what to expect here but a pleasant surprise. This has plenty of life ahead of it, zippy and round with a nice finish. Lengthy. Vineyard lies at 1,000 feet on the slope of a dormant volcano.

Mild to moderate yellow color with a nice nose reflecting the oak with a moderately full somewhat complex body with a moderate amount of well integrated acid and a medium length aftertaste. It will benefit & gain complexity with about five years of aging.

Drinkable. Not a fan of any of the 13' KW wines tart red fruit and thin.
