Pale gold color with appealing mango, pineapple, honey and hints of ginger, sweet spice and citrus aromas. On the palate it's medium bodied, and off-dry with a supple, smooth texture and very good acidity. The flavors follow the aromas with spiced sweet lemon joining the party. Clean lingering finish — 12 years ago

This is a stunning white showing surprisingly rich evolution: lemon and candied lemon, acacia, honeysuckle, wet stone, sage, green apple, dried apple, white peach, lime, lime zest, fennel and anise. It’s held up very well for six years, with vibrant acidity and rich, creamy texture. Very long finish — 3 years ago

Amazing chocolate blackberry, with hints of leather and smooth mellow background vanilla. For a wine with very little structure and tannin, the powerful combo of black fruit and dark chocolate are just about everything, and it’s terrific at probable peak of 12 years. — 5 years ago

Day 1: Interesting experiment. I can see why it’s used for blending. Very neutral and a little lemony.
Day 2: Really grew on me. Acidity dropped and allowed fruit to come in. Still like lemon but more like lemon custard. I suggest decanting for a bit — 6 years ago

Finally. This wine takes much longer to show its core beauty than one might expect. Now layered and full of honeyed quince and green olive and hay and herbs. The baby fat is gone, and while this still holds weight on the palate, it's more muscled and taut, less big and sloppy. Very true to it's Rhône heritage. — 8 years ago

The nose isn't exciting, a bit harsh. The flavor behind very flat and flourishes into a robust complex, full of berries and a slight earthy finish. — 10 years ago

Bourboulenc is a traditional but now fairly obscure varietal originally from southern France. From one of my favorite OG producers in Paso. — 5 years ago

9.2

Just at the point where it’s about to turn from primary to secondary. Fruit still ripe, but now well integrated and the tannins have mostly resolved. Present acidity carries through the mid palate and fresh finish. — 7 years ago

Love this head-pruned goodness! Dark garnet in color it shows off red and black fruit with some nice meatiness from the Syrah. A plush, full bodied wine that nicely balances its fruit and savory flavors with rich tannins. — 11 years ago
