Sonoma County, California, USA
Knowing Platt and VV’s reputation, I wanted to give this a spin.
My expectation for a VV white was along the lines of their reds (polished, suave, opulent), but this came across in a different style. Bright yellow in the glass with fresh citrus and honeysuckle aromatics. On the palate this trends more pretty/elegant vs powerful/opulent…if trying blind, I think I’d place this in Oregon. Lemon cream, lemon-lime and a small presence of tangerine with sea salt. Oak is there to frame it but not obtrusive. Good vein of acidity down the middle with a crisp mineral finish. Well made.
I’d like to try another vintage since the notes are so strong, but at the $125+ range, not sure I’m there on a QPR basis.
