God these are such beautiful wines. Floral beyond belief, with such a precise, finely woven tapestry of a bouquet. Settles and spreads on the tongue like molten taffy, ever so subtle rs cloaked in vigorous minerality and a great swath of satsuma mandarin and yellow peach acids.

Musty, slight creaminess, melon, light stone fruit.

Poured alongside the 2016 Sandlands Chenin Blanc “California” designation as a sort of fun side-by-side. The “Le Mont” wine pours a bright golden color. Medium+ intensity with some oxidative notes of cheese rind along with bright apple, white flowers, and hay. On the palate, pear, ginger and minerals with medium++ acid. Long finish. Some people loved it. Others couldn’t drink it. Either way, I don’t think the oxidative notes were intended so I’m marking this as flawed and refraining from rating.

Outstanding. 2016 vintage. So many developed flavors that I wouldn't expect to get for a couple years more down the road.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Didn’t drink very much of this, but what I did have was very unique and tasty. Extremely rich and not much in the way of acidity. Really coats the palate with butter and cream.
