One of my favorite white wine producers in the world. ZH's wines are always rich and complex. Much darker than a typical Pinot Blanc, this wine looks more like a Chardonnay. It has a lush and full mouth feel with apple, pineapple, hints of white peach followed by a touch of acidity on the finish. Went perfectly with my whole branzino at Chaya in SF. In general would go nicely with heavier seafood dishes or chicken.

Rich nose, lots of sweet, honeyed fruit, touch of lemon and minerals; sweet and round in the front of the mouth, but quickly filling out with lemon zest, honeyed fruit, lemon juice, and minerals; rich and ripe, round flavors; but well-balanced with a nice smooth long finish, elegant. (18/20)

This rare wine from the cellars of Washington Park Restaurant, very concentrated nose, raisins and vanilla, sugared fruit, powerful aromatics, touch of rubber bands in the nose; sweet and intense, very concentrated and sweet, almost cloying, but saved by a beautiful structure; spicy with the flavors of golden raisins; unctuous and mouth-coating, this is not a wine for everyone as I suspect that many might find it too much of a good thing; long sugary finish with endless layers of flavors; a unique experience for sure. (19/20)

Very tropical nose, loaded with mango and passion fruit aromas, touch of vinyl in the nose, but also lots of spicy sweetness, thick aromas; sweet, spicy, ripe, rich and intense in the mouth with a richness and sweetness that is at the same time slightly edgy as it is laced with nice lemony nuances; unctuous and mouth-coating, but at the same time braced with a powerful load of lemons that keep the wine from tipping over into flabby sweetness. (18/20)
