This is excellent. Benchmark. Just buy it. I should leave it at that, so brilliant is this layered, mid-weighted expression. Mellifluous. Everything feels intuitive and just right: place, varietal composition, site and delicious wine. Tatami straw, dry and flaxen. Ginger, cardamon pod, rooibos and curry powder. Flecks of apricot oatmeal and peach skin. The ebb of phenolic chew and drift of acidity, in perfect sync. The finish, long. Wonderful wine. I could go a point higher if pushed. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
95 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, for jamessuckling.com, Senior Manager
A classic blend of Rhone Valley white, these varieties are all about texture. Vinification is similar to the chardonnay, though the juice is extracted and settled more carefully, due to the phenolic nature of these varieties, and in order to display the purity of their exotic aromatics. No new barrels are used in the production of this wine, and the maturation is restricted to 10 months. The result is a voluptuous wine, rich and exotically spicy, floral, and edged with the ever present mineral spine of Beechworth granite.
