Gorgeous. Balanced ML and light oak, tremendous purity of fruit, lees richness, complex nose and palate, lengthy, lovely mineral and acid framework.

I waited too long to open this one, acid has faded and fruit was all about the butterscotch. #thanksgiving2015

This is Malbec, not Chardonnay. My least favorite of the lineup. Oak tannins are really showing.

Blind- I thought old Viognier. Wild neon yellow.

Before ice bucket safe glue labels. Oldie but goodie, rich nutty and bold, less tart than I anticipated . A delicious artifact.

Full body but balanced with fresh citrusy melon fruit and great acidity and minerality (due to volcanic ash soil/bedrock). No chemicals sprayed, mostly native yeast, second generation family farmers. Uses 1/3 new French, 2/3 neutral French oak. Delicious!

Pretty tasty, $34 from Bodega, which seems a bit pricey

Not buttery. High on acidity. A bit too much so.

Subtle aromas of lime zest, apricots, vanilla bean. Peaches and vanilla settle in on crisp medium body.
