Ripe flavors of apple, lemon, pear, nectarine, pineapple, wet stone, vanilla and toast. Clearly New World but with excellent balance. I found it a little shy in acidity but the wine was still vibrant, long lasting Anna complex. A beautiful effort. At five years of age it’s showing well but I would consume remaining bottles in the next couple of years.

I read like a broken record. My prior notes apply. Excellent, contemporary example of the varietal. Bivio Pizzeria, Montclair, NJ.

Apr 19th, 2024This has stood still in the bottle. So approachable and presents with such balance and moderation. We buy this example every year. Good for medium-term cellaring.

Jul 1st, 2022Ohhh, yessir! Very fleshy presentation. Apricots, Peaches, Meyer lemons on the nose. Waxy, oily and viscous on the palate. Neutral oak allows the fruit and acidity to dominate. Killer chard. This will sail on for years!

Mar 27th, 2021A stunner. So well presented, displaying baked biscuits, almonds and lanolin on the nose. Palate is pristine, precise and laser focused. Presents grapefruit and kiwi fruits on the mid palate. Finishes steely with light wood treatment, and a judicious amount of sweetness. This needs a little more time in the bottle, in order to further spread its wings.
