Always great! Nice gold color. Nose and palate contain lemongrass, butter, integrated oak, and well balanced acidity. Finish is a tad short or this would be up there with the heavyweights. — 2 days ago

1hr+ decant. Not sure if it needed more or was over the hill. Dark red color. Tough to write a note as this changed so much over the following hour. Medicinal tones with cherries and subtle vanilla. Medium minus finish. Might be in an odd phase? Confused! — 10 days ago

9.2

Different vineyard and style of Ribolla Gialla I’m used to from Matthiasson. Light gold color which is much different from the orangish I was expecting. A mix of Chard and Riesling. Melons dominated with refreshing tartness. Great on a hit summer evening! — 4 days ago

Dark yellow color. Needs almost an hour to open up and I would make sure to pair with food. Started at 94 and ended at 97. Popcorn, cream, pears, and subtle apple. Thick and deep with a long finish. Was great! — 11 days ago
