Lively babbling brook, fresh air, nectarine, lychee. So good. I could sip this under the Carolina blue skies all day. Thank you @Shawn R @David L

14' Melka Mekerra. If not the best SB in California... it's darn close! If you can patiently wait another yearπŸ‘

The hype is real! A lights out SB. One of the bests that I've had this year by far. We shareed this bottle which Shawn Rose @Shawn R so graciously gifted to me with our awesome friends. Wow's were heard after every sip!
A rockstar SB that I could literally drink every day. Globs of citrus, pineapple, orange, perfect acidity and a tad of oak which was seamlessly integrated throughout. Buy it if you can find it! A rockstar pour for any occasion!!!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

14' Melka Mekerra. Possibly could be my favorite SB from Napa. Even better with a little more time in the bottle. Tropical/citrusy all wrapped up into one. Perfect amount of acidity .Outstanding bottle of wine! at - Humble Market Kitchin, Maui

Could not fathom a white blend as good. Exceptional build on all fronts. Honeysuckle, fig and quince. Far more complexity than words can articulate. That's why it's served last during a tasting! Palate filled with brioche, slight frame of cream and white peach. Follows through with a defined finish displaying pinpoint acidity. Wonderful! One of the best I've tasted.

This was top 3 of the afternoon. It was on fire right out of the gate and just kept turning it up the longer it was open. Layer after juicy, crisp, rich, balanced layer....

@Shawn R thank you sir!
