Really like how this wine is showing. A super complex little blend. Using it as a teaching tool tonight and showing fabulously as it opens up.

Holy cow. This has so much complexity and depth for its relative young age. The golden color it had was gorgeous. Absolutely stellar.

2026: Lush, full-bodied Rhône Syrah. Lots of typical black fruits, herbs and distinctive black olive undertones. Subtle tannins - this is drinking well and leans toward smoothness and complexity over power. $70 at WT.

Pineapple, yellow stonefruit, fudge, vanilla and a scent of luxurious oak barrels on the nose. Very low acidity, fat, waxy texture, big bodied with a long, hot, alcoholic finish. Clearly not a wine of my taste, but the quality is obvious.

Medium to full bodied. Rich and luxurious nose of oak, vanilla, honey, saffron, oriental spice, nectarine, minerals and orange zest.
These nuances are echoing nicely on the palate. Finish is dry, serious, long and lovely with salty minerality and bittersweet fruit notes.
Really nice white Rhone wine, well balanced, just entering its drinking window.
