The grapes in this 2022 vintage are from Massa Vineyard in Carmel Valley (not Frei). Bosc pear, nutty, saline and low acidity. I usually prefer brighter, crisper whites, but this is very nice for Fall.

One of broc’s best wines every year. Great flavor and intensity. A lot of acidity but avoid fruit with pear, citrus, some hay. Amazing with halibut.

A funky nose but great flavor! Nice balance of minerality and citrus with flavors of limestone, star fruit, cumquat, and yellow citrus with a long, lingering flavor.

Citrus, dry and a smooth finish.

Limes, Granny Smith apples 🍏, Perrier lol (maybe that’s what people mean when they say “minerals”? 🤔)

Characterful and low in alcohol - a good combo
