Pandora Edna Valley Grenache Syrah 2018

Warehouse wine,
Bought to stay on the allocation list, definitely opened early but I needed to compare to older vintages I’ve had. There’s a reason these last 20 years. 2002 are drinking great. 4th day on this one.
Enjoy in 2038

Alban Vineyards

Alban Estate Vineyard Viognier 2021

Hard to beat the Estate version.
The 2021 Viognier Estate was mostly barrel fermented and matured, with the exception of a small portion of terracotta.
I’ll hold my last bottle a bit longer though.
