Butter and oak, rich flavors; they try to balance with apple and creme brûlée sweetness but not enough acidity or layering. Good to have a glass with something rich but I drank a bottle and was done with it three glasses in.

Fresh and bright, yet buttery.... won this at the office wine pull and finally got around to drinking it. Still learning white wine and I’m very picky but I like this!

Crisp with plenty of acidity has lots of green apple and pear. There’s plenty of oak back bone with some astringent elements on the finish.

Nice wine but less food friendly than expected. Nice flavors of apple, pear and minerals contrasted with zippy acidity. This wine’s character changed quite a bit when paired with food, with some hits and some misses. Maybe needs more time in the bottle. Enjoyed the 2017 vintage with Chilean Seabass at the Palm Las Vegas.

More pale yellow than gold, crisp, complex, not overwhelming. Natural butter and oak, with modest apple, citrus and bananas, even custard. Nice acid, but smooth through finish. Very nice.

Citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon with apple and butter. Creamy finish with notes of butter and light acidity.
