Pale straw, moderate nose of nuts, cream, smoke and pear. Full body, moderate complexity, high acidity with vanillin, smoke, baking spice, pear and peach. 86pts.

I like this a more than you do. I think she makes a 90pt SB each year. The smokey component is not for everyone. IW

I love the fruit, I just don't care for the oak in the wine and that reflects in my score.

I've noticed considerable bottle variation... Six earlier bottles were all interesting and good as summer/seafood pours. An additional six ( also ordered from website) have been somewhat different; three "ordinary" lacking in fruit; then suddenly - tonight - one very good. I'm not sure what's going on here; could be me. Could be me, paranoid; as there were some some strange markings on the last 1/2 case shipped.

What kind of strange markings?

Hi Skippy, Markings looked like the box had either been at an auction site or retrieved from one. While I never expected that you, the winery, would put inventory over on an auction site, only after noticing some variation did I wonder if the box might have made its way to another purchaser/been consigned/possibly retrieved and returned to Selene before making its way to me. Obviously, being totally paranoid with that kind of thinking; I know. All of the box markings could simply be 'Fullfillment House Speak"; a language I don't know. Finally, a further comment... a few nights ago I grabbed another bottle from that box (the second shipment of six) and it was excellent; back to what the first six, so quickly consumed, were.
