Glistening onion skin. Incisive aromas of orange zest, red currant and pungent flowers; hints of honey and lavender emerge as the wine opens up. Silky and light on its feet, offering nervy red berry and citrus fruit flavors that deepen and spread out slowly with air. Lands a solid punch but comes off lithe and precise, delivering strong finishing cut and persistent florality. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2019)

It might be the last day of the year over 89 degrees and we saved the best for last. Undeniably delicious and fresh.

Salted-watermelon-strawberry wine poured over crushed rocks. So vibrant, edgy, and fresh!

High acid and food friendly...good ocean flavor without ever quite getting to shrimp shells. Good, solid...not outstanding.
