Color is light copper, trending more orange-yellow.
Nose has Clementine peel, cold apricot, orange oil, warm strawberries, sea salt and sliced peaches.
Palate has peach, dried orange, dried sage, dry sliced almonds, minor saline notes and orange zest. Long finish, continually evolving, actually just tossed this intro a decanter as I think it will benefit.
Fun wine, can easily understand it's prowess and popularity, it's in the zone for us as well.
Paired with sugar/salt rubbed Cod cooked in the sous vide bath, then topped with sauteed shallots/capers, aside parmesan/panko spring peas. So yum! — 5 years ago
Wonderfully mature but still vibrant and succulent. Lime. Oily limpid saline lemon. Mineral and poised and long. Excellent. — 7 years ago
When on an island....
Medium gold in color. The nose has an intense floral bouquet that reminds me a lot of Muscat, with dried white flowers and pink grapefruit citrus aromas. The palate adds peach and a saltiness that stains the palate in saline and lifts the medium body texture that seems more endowed but must be from some skin contact during fermentation. The finish is fresh but a little short. — 10 years ago

Love it!! — 11 years ago
Light gold. Looks young. Took 5 hours to open up and show its stuff. In hour 6 this was cruising. Saline and sea shells, wispy lemon fruit, some honey, some white stone. The guesses from the fellas were 2002 Rav Clos and 1996 Rav Valmur. Shows how these properly stored aged Raveneaus can age effortlessly. — 5 years ago

Very good. Crisp, saline, grapefruit, nice after taste. Fairly long finish. — 6 years ago
Wonderfully executed, textbook Chablis. Fermentation in cuve; mix of cuve and neutral oak elevage. A wonderful example that speaks to the appellation. Tribut is a protégé of Dauvissat and I think that having studied under that kind of expertise definitely shows here. Full of verve and crackling energy while also showing a some richness and a bit fuller body from the warm vintage. Definitely would be best in a few more years but still a pleasure to drink now.

Minerals, lemon, and a hint of pear. Zippy, vivacious, and saline. Happiness right here — 10 years ago
Light and delicious. Nice complexity w/o the weight. Strawberry, peach, saline. — 11 years ago
Awesome high acid, saline muscadet. Killer price point too. Really lovely. — 11 years ago
What a glorious Napa Valley blended white... crisp, bone-dry, with acidity and weight at 12.4 ABV. Tart green and yellow fruit with definite saline notes and just a touch of funk. Long grippy finish and a 30 sec aftertaste. So very much more esthetically and intellectually interesting than your average Calif chard or Sb. Just downright fun to drink. — 5 years ago
Juicy orange, bitter orange, blasts of saline, serious complexity and decent length — 6 years ago
Starts out floral and citrus with a long anise and bitter almond finish. Evolves into saline minerals with a pleasant acidity and aromas of green apples. — 9 years ago

Skin contact old vines Listan Blanco. Electric stuff. Clearly volcanic, a bit of smoke over citrus/tree fruit. Saline tang. Envinate. 🔥 — 4 years ago
