Cherry pie, honey crisp apple, mint and a faint bit of minerality I can’t identify. On the palate it starts off bright with a plushy feel and has a long lingering high acid finish. This wine has a lot of what I like. Good enough structure for tons of different dishes but I’m drinking this by itself this evening. — 2 years ago

Not a big chars lover myself but this wine is decent and bright. Stone fruit and citrus on the nose with good minerality, although a little muddled and not as punchy as i like, you do get some almond and toast too. Taste is bright, vibrant and balanced — 5 years ago

Blackcurrents, floral notes, leather, a little dusty. Full, juicy black and red fruit, firm tannins. Good but a little boring — 6 years ago

My favorite non vintage label off the shelf. Lemon drop, toasted hazelnuts , maybe a little marzipan. Lively at the from but quickly gives way to a smooth mousse — 3 years ago

Classic petrol on the nose but not really much else, maybe a little bit of white grape juice. The palate is lovely with a wonderful brightness to offset the slightly elevated sugar. The fruit is ripe apricot and spout patch kids. the feel is a bit prickly at the start with a silkier finish. — 3 years ago

2018. They did it again. 2017 was one of my faves from last year and this vintage is just as good. Lime zest fresh red berries are complimented with notes of white flowers and mint. A gorgeous looking crystal clear pale pink in the glass. Bright and high acid, some salinity and Stoney minerality. Some grip on the end. Perfect pairing for grilling season! — 6 years ago
