Medium yellow/green in color. Rich aromas of peach & apricot, with catty notes, overlaid by smoky, gun-flint & struck match odors. On the palate mealy notes overlay concentrated, rich stone-fruits & sharper notes of greengage. Alcohol is balanced & the acidity is crisp & vibrant. The wine has good weight & well integrated toasty oak. Acidity is persistent, staying throughout the long & fantastically concentrated finish

Fresh, crisp but with intensity and ripe texture, this wine is the star of the white wines this vintage. It is tight, with minerality and acidity. Pink grapefruit, and a dynamic texture reveal its concentration. It will be a great wine from a great white wine vintage. Barrel Sample: 98-100

This has so much blossom honey and white flowers with limes and other citrus. Stone and mineral undertones. Subtle passion fruit. A truly complex and great nose. Full-bodied and compact with fruit, phenolics and fresh acidity. Just a touch of sea salt. Very long and persistent. If you close your eyes, it’s like a great red wine. One of the best whites ever to come from here. 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% semillon, 5% sauvignon gris.
