Home run aromas of pear, butter, spice, apple and toast. Very pure and fresh on the palate before spreading out with creamy pear and yellow apple before finishing with a nice burst of mineral and lemon zest. "Deep and intense, with distinctive floral and savory notes that flesh out as the wine shows off its ample frame. Dried apricot and chamomile add further shades of dimension." Vinous 92

Gained steam as the night went on. Pleasant herbal twinge on lemony spine.

Chablis like Chardonnay with lemon peel, orange blossom and a high toned finish.

Mostly very pleasant barrel aromatics on the nose, lean and precise Chablis-esque palette, but not that mineral driven. Would be interesting what this wine could have been if barrel fermented.

Candied lemon peel and donut peach along with saline, marzipan, and fresh celery flavors. A judicious use of French oak frames the beauty of this limestone-soiled, windy site in the southern part of Napa Valley.

Lemon, pear, some rich tropical notes but also a flinty-saline-Chablis-esque element. Great hybrid of France and California
