Sweet peas for dayzzzzz. A nearly ridiculous wine that I would only be able to tolerate in smaller doses. This will be a hit with Somms, for sure. A killer food pairing for asparagus. I like this for its authenticity...

Sage, eucalyptus, green grass, cold and strict, laurel leaf, dried bread, green leaves after rain. Stunning texture and balance! Hidden gem - huge potential. Too young now.

Heady and unctuous yet precise and full of drive. Fantastic Gruner - 2013

One of my favorite wines all year . Unctuous ( in a good way) with a delightful mineral cut. Still a long way from maturity , but delicious now. No need to fret about committing infanticide, as it's do good now. Worth whatever they want to charge you for it.

Beautiful aroma - precise fruit, spicy and mineral, but just a tad too sweet on the finish.

Green green green but fleshy and ripe. Smell a little bit like smarties- fruity and sour but not that sweet ultimately.
