Ooh la la! Fantastic crisp apple-pear fruit laced with a streak of minerality and beautiful richness and length. Lovely now and sould last another 5+ years. — 10 years ago

Rich yellow color. White flowers, chamomile and lemon on nose with more citrus, lemon curd, honey, and some stone fruit on palate. Very high acid, full bodied, long and full finish. Young, needs time. Very Santa Cruz. — 10 years ago

12' This is in collaboration with Varner brothers. The balance of this between fruit & oak is impressive. I recommend highly to decanting it. One hour later it came together nicely. Floral, white peaches, nice acidity. Best years are in front of it. You could cellar this for another 5+ year without a problem. Like to revisit this again in a few years. — 10 years ago
