Lees contact. Lemon, lime, citrus zest and lots of red delicious apples. Very high acidity with a touch of RS. Harmony and balance.

Crap. These are going to be extraordinary when they mature in... 20 years? The problem is they're so hedonistically, completely, get-in-my-face delicious right now that I don't know how I'll ever have some left to drink...

Gold color. A mix of Chardonnay and Riesling. As my 5yr old son said - pear, apple, peach, and melons. Nailed it! Throw in some hints of oak and butter and this wine has it all and is nicely complex. Medium plus depth and lovely finish. Wine is definitely under priced.

Delicious. 2016 vintage paired with a flavorful sea scallop.

Day 3. Impossible not to like. Honey and fruit notes are so interwoven with it’s acidity. Great now but will only improve. One of the best serious white wine QPRs in the world.
