A medium pale yellow. Crisp nose of wheatgrass and pear. Enjoyed the medium sweet mixture of Sauv Blanc, Semillon and Muscadatte

Interesting burnt orange zest nose w air. Rich texture. Not as vibrant as some previous vintages for me.

Delicious. This is gaining some complexity, but still isn't as rich as the 2011.

honeysuckle orange pith, with fields of white flowers, w/ a bright tangerine on the nose, the weight that drives the mineral & acidity for layers, mind racing with good ideas.

How fun! A white Bordeaux made with all three grapes. A very nice balance. It says it can sit for a decade. Interesting to try in a couple of years.

Despite only 5% oak and mostly concrete aging, I'm getting a lot of toasty oak character and creaminess from the sémillon. Would be great paired with seafood.

I dig this. Both fleshy textured and crisp. This is a good wine for drinking while cooking and should do wonders at the table.

2011 Vintage . 13.8% Alcohol. Surprisingly good for 2011. Some acidity left to carry it.
