Just Wow. If this doesn't rock your world then you drank it too cold and didn't decant and wait an hour. Layers of flavor and a looong finish!

Thought this would be more like a Chardonnay and there were nots of that at first but then it finishes overly sweet. Not great and wouldn’t get if by choice. Mystery case wine.

White Rhône blend with bright and perfumed aromas of honeysuckle, white flowers, sandalwood and herbs. Good acidity with palate of apricots & citrus. A minerality & slight creamy finish.

A 'Rhone style white' that really just drinks more like a Napa Chard. Weird
