Bright, with good acidity... fleshes out a bit with air and seems to be gaining complexity with time. Remains a terrific summer wine.

This stuff is just tasty. Bringing the funk, dank, floral, lively, juicy and all around delicious fruits. All natural winemaking, by 2 couples that wanted to make wine that they wanted to drink. Another “anti-California” Californian wine.

Fun cheese pairing wine that gets better with air and as it warms up.

Hardy Wallace makes Familiar Blanc from a mixed bag of his best whites. So much I love. Stripped and oxidized just right - light brass. Salty tangerine butterscotch, bruised apple, apricot.

A very tasty wine. I wish it had been chilled below cellar temp before having it. I think it caused it to fall flat very quickly on the tongue.

Interesting six grape blend with Chenin Blanc and Pinot Blanc comprising half, and Chardonnay, Roussanne, Viognier and Melon making up the rest. All seem to play well together and this has good acidity and more verve than my recent ‘14s.
