I'm a bit late in getting to a review of this excellent wine, but this is not a white wine that is showing age - quite the contrary. It is still very youthful and racy, with years to go. The excellent Cabernet producer, Larkmead, does not produce a lot of white wine (whites account for only 10% of the winery's volume). And, unfortunately, this wine is pretty much only available to wine club members. That said, if you happen to have a chance to enjoy it, you're in for a treat. It's currently showing notes of lemongrass, lime blossom, honeydew melon, green papaya, and granny smith apple, and it also has a subtle umami note reminiscent of saltwater. This is going to sound crazy, but it actually reminds me a little bit of a green papaya salad without the chile spice. This kind of complexity is rare indeed. (96 Points).
