Mineral, grassy, almond, lime-tangerine cream. Like if a white Rhone had a weird ass 2nd cousin. Very good value for $13

Aug 15th, 20152012 vintage. Pale lemon. Fresh, tangy and citrus like on the nose. On the palate, this wine has more weight that I was expecting and some leesy, creamy notes - sur lie with battonage? Nice textural wine with medium plus acidity and ripe lemon and lime, hints of almond and some white peach. The length and concentration are really very good. For what it is, this is a top example of its type and difficult to criticise except for the limited complexity on the nose. I would think this could improve in bottle for 3 years.
