Subtle citrus and stone fruit with some crushed stone and a little funk (in a good way).

Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with grassy herb mineral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, apple and melon with lemongrass and herb notes. Long finish ending with juicy fruit, herb and grassy notes, lively acidity with mineral character. Outstanding!

Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with herbal mineral notes. Pineapple and orange citrus flavors adding grapefruit, melon & peach tones, great acidity balance, rich & smooth, long finish ending with rich bright mineral character. Nice! Had this several times, consistent quality. Short-term aging will benefit. Just outstanding

Star bright straw gold. Abundant funky nose of burning citrus and funghi. Medium palate is much cleaner than the nose yielding toasted lemon, white guava, and white pepper with a bit of birch on the finish. Medium plus acidity. Medium finish. A fine example of California Fumé style SB. Okay as a sipper, but built for a meal. Swordfish and scallops come racing to mind, but any white fleshed fish or shellfish should pair wonderfully. Or just upscale your fried chicken. It’s good for that, too. Drink now through 2024.
