Finally a domestic GV that isn't terrible but instead quite awesome: Dry and tart palate, energetic with racy acidity. Not belying the variety, but also not posing as an Austrian. More of a true Cali GV. Love this wine!

Clearly I am new to Delectable. Meant to rate this a bit higher, as it is definitely one of the better US GV's I've had!

The only estate Grüner in Sonoma! Unique and delicious, with Meyer lemon, coriander, and woodsy notes and a surprising honeyed finish. Fun!

First American Gruner Veltliner. Don't expect Austria. Keep an open mind. A delightful, mineral driven wine. Hats off to Belden Barns for making this happen on US soil.
