This takes me to a massive field of sunflowers at high-noon and everything is ascendant. The energy is hypnotic, like when your head turns as that certain someone walks by, your cheeks blushing as they catch your gaze. It’s all lost in translation and feels absolute for that one fleeting moment.

 NYR, but 2024 scored 94 Vinous

The 2024 Picpoul Blanc comes from John Sebastiano Vineyard. Vibrating with saline energy and citrusy verve, the 2024 pure, focused, driven and weighty. It really hits all the right notes. Mangosteen, passion fruit, lemon zest, chalk and chamomile lend an exotic flair. The voluptuous texture here is so enticing.
