The 2022 Silice has a little flesh around its tight core. There's no doubting the vineyard's flinty nature with its arrow-like precision and firm texture. Rather than fragrant, it is stony and compact, offering subtle aromatics reminiscent of nectarine and pineapple. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2023)

Like drinking the color green. Ultra flinty and grassy aromas of green pepper, basil, fresh cut lime, mint and white pepper. Freshness and cut are brilliant, and there is a stern stoniness about this vintage that registers full-throttle intensity. Always a classic, and a superb value.

Skurnik import, so dense & juicy, I can see how this can do medium aging

Lucid, taut. Light body with hard hitting mineral notes. Flint, melon, citrus.

Super green for the vintage. Lacking concentration. I thought it might be Quincy or a cheap Sauvignon from Gascony.

Great summer sipper. Light, a little spicy, grassy, minerals, what's not to like? Nice with a zesty salad.

Nicely aromatic-- rose florals and lemon citrus. Viscous mouthfeel. Classic flint comes out with a little air.
