Very good! Welcoming fall with this old vine zinfandel and pasta with roasted buttercup squash and sage. “Blackberry, black cherry and raspberry flavors, wrapped in a smooth blanket of vanilla and oak” — 4 years ago
Meyer lemon, vanilla, honey, buttercup. Pleasant salinity, well articulated spine of acid. — 5 years ago
Bass Phillip is arguably the best producer of Pinot Noir in Australia so you would expect he would produce an excellent Chardonnay - and he does. This had full buttercup yellow in colour. Big and generous - rich and buttery with ripe fruit and integrated oak. Some notes of pear amongst the stone fruit. Somewhat old fashioned in style. — 2 years ago

Ripe yellow stone fruit, apricots, nectarines, lemon Curd, ginger and yellow apples. Very floral with honey, orange blossom and buttercup characters, lovely savoryness with fresh cream and a wet stone minerality
High acidity and a medium + full body, pronounced flavour intensity with a vibrant mineral nerve that runs thorough the mid palate and expands towards the finish, characters of ripe stone fruit, honey blossom, wet stone through a long finish. — 3 years ago

“All my wines tells a story” is quoted by Caroline Frey and the back label, and I do Iove this story from start to finish. Make it a winter staple and pair it with a French classic, such as Sole à la meunière or a Chicken with cream and mushroom sauce.
La Mule Blanche from Paul Jaboulet Aine is an equal blend of Marsanne and Rousanne. It present a Burgundian like expression but a bit riper profile. Ripe primary fruit with grilled lemon, juicy peaches, honey and buttercup that is supported by a foundation of nuts and crushed stones. A lovely texture on the palate with good weight and density that is balanced by a savoury and fresh base note that holds the wine togheter throughout the finish. — 4 years ago

Buttercup gold core with light green tones to the edges, and a medium body with nice long legs. The nose is reminiscent of salt air, with apricot pastry and notes of florals, maybe orange or lemon blossom, layered beneath. The salinity is prominent on the palate, but fades in the middle, revealing green figs, cumquat, apricot, some vegetal notes, almost dry wood like, with definitely some lightly present oak, but a silky, glazed pastry like finish that lasts and lasts. A beautiful and restrained representation that pretty much could be old world if you weren’t paying attention. — 2 years ago
