If you gave this to me blind I’d swear it were Muscat, but there’s not a drop in here. Hyper floral and spicy - white pepper, dried ginger, jasmine and lychee. Such a pleasure and a totally idiosyncratic expression of California.

Slightly sweet beeswax and bee pollen mixed with melon and citrus. Silky gorgeous and light.

Patience rewarded, beginning to show some beautiful secondary notes with great texture

Waxy, rosemary, freshly sliced mango. Loving the freshness of the nose, a little lactic on the finish which doesnt follow suit.

Wow, I have, over the few years this wine has been in market, paid retail + and enjoyed every bottle, not this vintage . I'll reserve judgement but not pay restaurant prices to see if it repeats past enjoyment. Bummer for such a possible great vintage.

Absolute silky California interpretation of a Friuli Italy white. Highly recommended. Brilliant weight of Malvasia in the blend with an instigating level of acidity
