Quite sweet aromas and petrol/oily notes and white flowers on the nose. Peach, apple, pear, white pepper, spice and honeydew finish. Lovely round finish.

A little reduced on the nose, with dried apricots, ripe nectarines, and Macaron almonds fleshing out the bouquet. Smooth and soft on entry, with Bosc pears, ripe Key limes, and orchid flower filling out the palate. A little hot, but enjoyable.

I love this wine. Lovely acid, body of plenty. Aromatic and a smidge of funky on the nose

šŸ‘ Clear gold with effervescence
šŸ‘ƒ Wow, this one is tricky. An ever changing nose of vegetal notes, apricot, overripe cantaloupe, geranium, acetone, etc. Temperature and time changed the nose rather drastically.
šŸ‘… Vegetal and cooked apple. No structure, finishes rather short mid-palate. Did not detect too much acidity or minerality I would usually associate with Muscadet / traditional Melon de Bourgogne.
āœļø I made the mistake of blind tasting this. Very thrown off by the combination of nose and palate. It was an interesting experience, but not sure if it's for me.

Lovely round textures. Lemon pith, salty sea breeze aroma. Long finish. Highly recommended

Nice on the nose, not so balanced on the finish as we might have liked.

Viscous compared to a muscadet. Acid is refined due to malolactic fermentation. Granite and peach. Lovely for an Oregonian interpretation.
