The 2012 vintage could have used a touch more acid to age gracefully into Dec 2017 when I opened it. But, still a nice wine. Dense and weighty, honeysuckle, apricot, white peach, beeswax, lemon, mineral finish.

When not sure which wine to choose for our dishes at Parachute, best bet is to ask Matty. He steered us to this gem - perfect weight and texture to handle all the dishes, and enough fruit to tame the spice.

2011. Spiced Apples. Great acid and tension. Yet textural. Long and fine. Lovely.

Honeyed ripe melon. Gorgeous straw colored. Searching a bit for it's identity
