This is pretty and floral, with orange blossoms, jasmine, and a distinct pinene note. Very much a warm summer night floral bouquet. Texture is unctuousness but spice and acidity balance. Really nice, much better than my last bottle which was definitely off. Much better at room temperature than chilled.

Beeswax, pollen, gardenia, clementines and citrus oil. Yum!

75% Roussanne, 25% Viognier. Rich golden color, floral nose, full bodied, a touch of sweet fruit up front, viscous, slight bitter finish from the Roussanne

Would like to revisit in 10-15 yrs. I found it rather enjoyable, though not quite certain it's my preferred style. Big and generous, needing focus. A bit spendy for domestic white...

Helloooo! Booker! No sleep till Booker! Baller! If you have the means you must if you haven't, it takes me places I see in my dreams it's so lovely white waxy flowers with honeysuckle and layers and layers of nuances!

Spicy. Almost like pinot gris. Dry. Gooseberries, husk cherries. Maybe over the hill. Not enough acid; tastes a bit little flat. Could be a storage issue. Giving this the benefit of the doubt and not rating.

Striking nose. 100 points. Phenomenal. Mid and finish are ok right now. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Crazy cheap auction buy. Reload!

I prefer their reds, but this was a nice surprise.

75% Roussanne, 25% Voignier

Not as lush as expected, which was fine by me.
