Vintage 2018 | peony, candy, pepper, laurel in smell. Very complete wine with awesome balance, a bit sultry.

Vintage 2014 | mesmerizing smell: autumn leaves, laurel, lavendel, thym. Great balance, rondeur.

Love these Mediterranean whites. Unctuous and delicious. Medium to full bodied with low soft acid. Notes of apricot, nectarine and pineapple juice. I have 3 left which I should drink in the next 12 to 18 months.

What a class act. A muscular, stony, well-defined thoroughbred of a wine.

not yer average mash-up of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, & Roussanne: steely, vibrant, dill-y Vieux Télégraph Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc "La Crau," fanning out on the palate with stony purity

2013 Blanc. There is a lot of stuff going on in this wine. Broad, Rich, oily texture paired with just enough acidity to keep you coming back for sip after sip. Ideal at room temperature. Delicious!
