Here we open things up a bit more vs the west Sonoma coast bottling. Same pale yellow but citrus is fresher, white florals more vibrant, some underlying tension below the mellow lemon curd profile — 13 days ago
Rare misstep from Terlan. Huge, almost unpleasant phenolic grip (!!!) and an orange bitters finish on the pleasantly viscous body, without much complexity after — a month ago
Not my style yet still remarkable. Voivray-like dried pear on the most almost makes you expect some sweetness, then a lifted and fresh floral profile shows up instead — 13 days ago
Opens with pleasant white flower reduction minor struck match and a touch of oaky vanilla. Then lemon confit and other soft candied notes. Would be an overly opulent profile but it’s well balanced by solid yet mellow acidity. Primary profile could fool me for Chassagne but without laser or hazelnut — 13 days ago
Classic. Leads with graphite — a month ago
Lots of concentration, “Petit” just in name. Classic lest profile but not very reductive and instead with some almond skin and hazelnut — a month ago
One word for this wine is concentration. Medium yellow. It radiates from the dark and fascinating profile of hazelnut and almond skin with enough acidity and oak integration to have none of the downside. I hate the expression but as manly of a chardonnay as it gets — 13 days ago
The wrong kind of natural wine, where instead of tasting terroir you taste whatever germ is under the fingernails. It’s got just about every defect under the sun, from va to oxidation to nasty brown sediments. Feels like one of those “this year it came out fizzy” wines farmers used to make in my childhood town. — 14 days ago
Fine. Needs plenty of time — a month ago

Well made in a tough vintage. Masculine and phenolic wit being out of balance — 13 days ago
