Los Olivos Vineyard Marsanne

Mature. At end of life but consistent.

Had a glass on open. Restrained but still excellent.

Great drinkable expression of two incredible grapes. white fruits, peaches, hibiscus, glycerol, arôme tertiaire de miel. 12.5% abv.

Picking up these lovely honey notes, toasted almonds, citrus blossom, w. pepper and synthetic tones. Incredibly vibrant and alive on the palate and fresh.

From half-bottle. Mostly shut-down. Flashes of classic Marsanne. Hold for another 4-7 years. Really pretty in those glints of openness. Rebuy. Like the upside.

Delicious and unusual combination of butter, fruit and dryness on the finish

Delicious

This is delightful. Bee pollen, honey suckle, lemon meringue, Meyer lemon..that’s the nose. That all transfers so well to the palate, but with added orange blossom honey and thyme (something herbal). Still good acidity and life to this wine. I wish I had more to try in a few years.

Bright and refreshing with rich fruityness but a dry tartness I enjoy. Almost a dry pineapple taste on the finish.

Great age, honey suckle, orange peel, grapefruit. The vintage is great.
