Clear, medium lemon-green in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary aromas of lemon, starfruit, and white peach; on the palate, it's dry with medium plus acidity, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of lime peel, saline, and chalk with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as good.

Medium gold color. Aromas of lemon, white flowers, shortbread and wet sand. Flavors of white peaches, pears, nectarines, apricots and minerals. Noticeable hint of saline on the medium-plus finish. Medium body and bright/well balanced acidity. Laser focused, crisp, well rounded. Nice purity. Very “Chablis-like.” Outstanding value.
