  Pretty good in its old age, but past its prime. Peaches and citrus on the nose. Grapefruit and other minor notes on the palate. The acidity is fading but still held up to dinner well. I was afraid this guy would be dead but was pleasantly surprised.

  Had at a picnic in st Helena. Grapefruit. Lemon. Citrus. Grass. Large oak casks add some body n flavor. High acid. I like what its trying to do.

  OK. Restrained: muted florals, a touch too much acidity, better with food than on its own.
  Rated 0 on a scale of -1 to 3.

  All large barrel, neutral oak and from a block in American Canyon. Subdued aromas of grapefruit and fresh green herbs with very light hints of grass. Terrific mouth-watering acidity. Crisp and clean and very vibrant. Juicy ruby grapefruit flavor. Nice.
