Bought at the winery. It was stunning! Deep golden color; nose is fading to a hint of lemon and alcohol; tart and slightly bitter, mineral but a nice body; as it warmed and opened, the nose and flavor improved slightly with more vanilla. Drink NOW or loose it, after all it is 6 years old.

Light gold, immediately scents of almond husk and lemon oil. Good weight and very restrained fruit with preserved lemon and dry roasted peanut tones. Fruit is all secondary. Nice acidity. medium+ finish. Bought at auction so I don't know how it was in its youth - it may have peaked. Probably has a few years left at this level.

Rich, round and lovely. Polished with a great fresh acidity and a lingering finish. A touch spicy at the end, though it starts with lovely pear, green apple, key lime. Really nicely done, I keep going back for more.

Oxidized. Some cork failure. Well stored.

For me this was a wow wine. Need to try more Oregon whites...
