Delicious overload! Nose of pear, hints of vanilla & oak. Worked wonderfully with pan seared shrimp with corn grits. Heart be still!

Very similar to the recently tasted coffinet-duvernay caillerets but obviously much sweeter, less citrusy, more tropical and overall oilier and heavier. Still an outstanding white!

Nose of lemon oil, apple and a touch of floral. Similar palate with a deft touch of oak (but not butter and/or popcorn). Finish is impossibly long and well balanced with impeccable acidity. I drink a lot of high end Chardonnay, and this bottling routinely winds up near the top. 94+

OMG! Flora nose. Notes of Acacia, apricots with hints of vanilla & oak. An absolutely marvelous wine! Perfect with shrimp remolaude!

Big oak/toast with ripe orchard fruit and lemon bar. Good but not my favorite style. Drink now or in 5 years.

Clean, bright fresh ripe red delicious apples with nice spice and mineral tones. A touch warm, but absolutely delicious flavors.
