It is savory and briney with pink grapefruit acidity and a rumbling depth of baritone fruit power. The shape of the wine in the mouth is taut, tense and precise, before opening out through the finish in a plume of pillowed flavor. An exceptional wine that harnesses the exactitude of the cool year and expresses the tremendous power possible in the vineyard sites. Drink Date: 2022 - 2036."

(4/28/2020) "Such complexity and resolve make for a very attractive nose with peaches, grapefruit, cedary oak spice, gunflint and wet stones. The palate has a plush, smoothly resolved texture with a rich, creamy texture and all-encompassing, ripe stone-fruit flavors, ahead of a very long, smooth finish. Grilled-hazelnut and apricot-kernel flavors to close. Great to drink now, but certainly a decade of cellaring in the tank, too. Screw cap."

(7/2021) "Shimmering straw-yellow. Vibrant, mineral-accented aromas of white peach, pear, honeydew melon and Meyer lemon, along with a bright floral overtone. Juicy and densely packed, conveying a suave blend of richness and vivacity to the mineral-drenched citrus and orchard fruit and floral flavors. Takes on smoky lees, sweet butter and iodine notes with air and shows superb clarity on the strikingly long finish, which echoes the mineral and floral notes. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035."
