Deep yellow in color with a golden hue.
The nose is so interesting with lots of unique flavors. Oak, vanilla, nuts, citrus, honey and spices.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, lemons, apricots, minerals, honeysuckle, oak, herbs, vanilla, flowers, spices, earth, white pepper and light vegetables.
Long finish with limes and almonds.
This is a beautiful 11-year-old White blend from California. Showing a soft mouth feel with nice complexity and good balance.
Drinking so nicely right out of the bottle at this point. Elegant and soft. Rich and fruity. Opulent, spicy and interesting.
A great sipping wine, really tasty and just a gorgeous wine.

Unapologetically flashy and opulent. Loads of toasty vanilla, baked apple, lemon curd, peach and white flowers, palate is creamy and saturating but not unbalanced. Not for the faint of heart and not a style I would seek out or drink every day but fun to try

'12 , Chard, Roussanne, Petite Manseng (didn't even know that existed) and Viognier. LED gold in colour, more viscous than any wine I've ever had, the mouthfeel of a big red. 15.2%...no way, the red citrus, beeswax and peachy fruit mount an epic battle with a ghost-like acidity, never feeling at all heavy. Just wow, best white wine I've ever tasted. Thanks Matt C!
