Delicious and refreshing white wine. Exotic aromas of tropical fruit and jasmine. Drink!

Supple, tropical, extremely approachable, if somewhat one dimensional. A delightful pairing, in part aided by the wine's terrific balance and good acidity, to a handful of dishes from a local vegan joint, the highlight of which was an avocado tempura.

What a great white. Great nose, lots of fruit and acidity. Plus they are such nice folks. First winery to follow up with a phone call to see if I received their letter in the mail. My first taste of their wine and I'm so glad I got it.

Lemon zest, candle wax, sea salt, almost ripe nectarine...what a glorious dinner companion. Round, almost viscous, but zippy acidity and a long caressing finish. I am smitten with white Italian varietals nurtured in California and largely unoaked.

Clean, crisp, absolutely mouth-watering! Shy initially, as the wine warms it puts on heft and intensity. Maybe a touch of ripe sweetness but lots of vibrant acidity to wash the wine through its paces. A delight with Korean fried chicken and fois gras bibimbop. Glad to know these wines and occupy their list!

Intensely floral nose with nectarine, lychee, and lemon fruit profile. Vibrant acidity hits my palate first along with new levels of small-white-floral and herbaceous wave that settles into a long mineral finish!
