Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral blossoms. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, apricot and lemon zest, crisp acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Can benefit from short-term aging, Nice!

This wine is tinted lightly yellow and carries a hefty bit of salinity on the nose. There is also the scent of lemons, almonds and a wet sidewalk. The palate shows terrific minerality, a nutty backbeat and a citrus finish that lingers. I would like a bit more acidity, but this is fresh enough.

Deep lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon juice with generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Tried several bottles, got better with some age. Nice!

100% Carricante. Shocked to find this at Costco. Underripe yellow apple, lemon zest, lemon curd, defined by the minerality, smoky,salinity and decent acidity. Not as steely as Muscadet and Chablis but pairs well with lighter seafood dishes that pair with those two wine regions.
