Nice long finish. Citrus. Ripe fruit flavors. Would love to have this one in another 5 - 7 years.

One of the best bottles of Yvonne I've had. Textured with (you guessed it) honey and minerals.

Ripe fruit over a firmly acidic spine.

2014. Showed more oak than I expected. Solid, energetic, but needs time in the bottle to focus

Enjoyed over 3 nights. A wine that doesn’t need more cellar time but can certainly handle it. A beauty at 12.5% alcohol, with a richness of flavor that nicely contrasts its great acidity.

Yvonne consistently crushing it. Ripe white peach, pear, baked green apple. Strong acid core with a captivating finish that's pulls you back to the glass.
