Graceful as a ballet dancer—heady notes of yeasty and nutty roundness (think morning fresh baked bagel with almond and hazelnut) punctuated by the staccato of gently sour citrus (lemon, lime, citron, yuzu), balanced by minerals and delightful fizz. Drinks much younger than it is, so if you are lucky enough to have more of this ambrosia there’s no rush to empty out your cellar (20 is the new 10, as the Boomers would say). Enjoyed this gem at Hayato Restaurant in LA (best Kaiseki I’ve ever experienced) with my daughter Rachel and her friend Lindsay right after they finished taking the California Bar Exam. Best of luck, girls! — 6 days ago

Poised and pretty. Intense and bright. Sweet with great acidity. Limestone and a hint of lemon sherbert with salinity. — 15 hours ago

Dried redfruits (cranberry mostly?) aromas and flavors, resolved tannins, good acidity, mature but shows good length, should be great with the Wild King Salmon I’ll be grilling soon for our dinner!! — a month ago

Aging has its benefits as this is 6 years old and smooth. Good fragrance and cherry. August 2025. — 12 days ago

Pristine bottle so much power and life left and still fruit definition. Drinks like first growth Pauillac. What a special era for Napa wine. — a month ago
