Feb 10th, 2017Nose a little slow to get going. Aromas of quince and peach are smacked with a delightful salinity. The palate is exquisite, with lovely white fruit flavors and a decent acidity tempered by the wine's mellow mouthfeel. Traces of a floral sense melt into a slightly saline feel on the finish.

Aug 20th, 2019As whites go this is delicious. 2014 opened August 2018. 2/3rds Genache Blanc and 1/3 Roussanne, with the smooth tannic structure of a wine that's gone through malolactic fermentation. Citrus and sage on the nose. Smooth tannic structure all the way down with just a hint of tartness on the top of the palate. It's lovely chilled, but it gets a bit insipid as it warms up.

Oct 16th, 2016This is the 2010. Drinking very well now. Beautifully aromatic on the nose with floral, citrus, and mineral notes. Palate is bright but balanced with a earthy, ripe fruit sweet perception. There's talc, orange pith, and some tropical fruit. This wine shows Randall's talent. Better now than when this wine was young. Oh, and fantastic with a Mediterranean seafood and turkey sausage stew.
