Previous notes apply. Lemon curd, vanilla, lime zest, popcorn, and some subtle stone fruit. The lime note (and a tinge of alkaline and alcohol) repeat on the back end. Missing a bit of finesse and…
Simple yellow citrus and saline notes, with flecks of graphite. Some green apple and vanilla show up on the back half of the attack. Otherwise, a fairly humdrum example of the varietal. Not too much…

Same notes as two months ago. Seemingly weighty and rich, but never burdensome or fat. Maintains great flavor while still holding a good grip on the lush yellow citrus fruit; showed lovely balance…
More Sherry than Chardonnay. Super arid and woody at this stage, with a drying, anti-unctuous effect inside the mouth. Like a Sherry and a still Champagne had an eczema baby.
Similar to my previous note. Missing a little oomph, especially as it warmed up, losing some of the unique lime flavors that jumped out back when I had this in February. Still a great SB. The score…
"Not bad" is probably the best overall descriptor here - as in the way you might utter such a phrase walking out to your car after a movie that wasn't a total waste of time, but also wasn't one you'd…
Give this time. Sulfur, heat, and glycol dominated over the yellow citrus core fruit. Almost akin to a limoncello. Liqueur lemontini aftertaste. Hold for another year minimum.
Previous notes apply to some degree, but this particular experience was a bit lackluster. Having just had this the other day, I found today that this bottle was a bit muted and flat. The flavors were…
Beautifully crafted and just the right amount of richness, this UV-SL was pumping out classically elegant and unctuous flavors of ripe yellow citrus, lemon curd, lemon grass, honey, meringue, ripe…
A bit of a "flat" meets "fat" profile this time around. This wine screamed domestic Chardonnay, with "fat," buttery flavors of lemon curd, pie crust, clarified butter, movie theater popcorn, and…
Traditional SB notes of yellow citrus and white stone core fruit, yellow pear, lemon juice, honeydew melon, mango, pumice, sulfur, and wet pavement. A medium attack with an equally medium-weighted…
Soft and approachable, with soft curves and an easygoing delivery of light and traditional SB flavors. Yellow citrus, quince, grass, and grey rock. A leisurely saunter of an attack, gliding across…
Previous notes apply from over a year ago in terms of the specific flavor profile. Not too much has changed with this wine, with notes of high-pitched yellow citrus, lemon grass, quince, white stone…
A wonderful nose of tropical fruit and grass. Yet, once this hit the palate, its delivery of flavors was mostly deadpan. Light lemon, pear flesh, alkaline, and dry grass. Expressionless for the most…
Ripe yellow citrus, lemon curd, yellow pear, pineapple, popcorn, vanilla bean, and almond. Fairly rich and bordering on buttery, this pulls back just in time before it becomes too much of a good…
A somewhat more compelling SB than the III Rows SBs served before this Boeschen. Yellow citrus, honeydew, light grass, orange membrane, and gray pebbles. Simple, but with a decent amount of energy…
Perhaps a slight improvement from the 2016 version of this SB, the 2014 exhibited more of a prairie grass note that added some lift...."some" lift. The main issue here was that the core fruit didn't…
Bright, lively, and hyper-crip flavors of yellow citrus, Asian pear, green apple, lemon oil, pumice, and hints of vanilla alcohol. A wake-you-up-in-the-morning fresh water splash attack, with bracing…
Pleasant and giving, with ripe lemon curd, popcorn, and vanilla flavors. A touch simple, but kicking out just the right amount of flavor. Purity of fruit is notable, especially given the QPR. Love it…
A cutting and enticingly biting specimen, with white and yellow citrus, green apple, white flowers, lees, limestone, gray slate, and hints of almond dust. A lot of energy here, with a swift delivery…
Exactly what I expect from Aubert's interpretation of the Hudson site. Flavorful and giving notes of luscious yellow citrus, lemon curd, pineapple, fresh vanilla bean, poached pear, ripe green apple,…
