Villa Creek Cellars 'Maha' Before Anyone Else, Adelaida District, USA 2021 Beaujolais Blanc Bright medium rubyThe 100% Clairette from this estate, the 2021 Before Anyone Else is rocking stuff and reminds me of some of the top whites from Chteauneuf du Pape. Tart pineapple, caramelized citrus, white flowers, and ample chalky mineral notes emerge on the nose, and its medium bodied, with plenty of richness and depth on the mid palate, terrific balance, and a great finish. It should have 3 5 years of longevity, but I see no need todelay gratification. 94 Pts Jeb
