So good with our exciting upscale Thai meal at Nari in SF. Pineapple, honeysuckle. Nice acidity that paired beautifully with our seafood centric dinner.

CVed about 4 weeks prior. Opened 10/10/19. Still excellent with stone fruits and complex mix of earth and flowers. Great tingling texture and long finish.

CVed 9/7/17. Finally it ran out! Floral yet minerals and stone fruit on nose. Attractive. Good balance with sweetness on palate and good finish with that stone fruit notes. Tasting the three with complex Thai food.

Floral complex nose of white flowers and minerals. High acids on palate with some sweetness and long finish with mix of floral notes and rocks and acids. Actually went well with New year's rice cake with Taiwanese sausage and leeks. Interesting.

Rich fragrant nose with sense of smoke and wool. Shock of sweetness with shearing acid on palate, salinity and complexity. Long evolving finish. What an interesting Chenin with some age on it. JL tasting. Bought 3 at $28. Great deal. Rosenthal wine presented by Mike Kane who loves to talk.
