Very light on the nose. Lemon, green apple, slightly unripe white peach with a hint of creamy essence. Mouthwatering acidity. Medium finish. Very nice and enjoyable but not very complex.

Riper than expected, but still a great example.

An amazing wine---everything that you expect to be there but in a perfectly blended offering. Every aroma was clear and distinct, yet each played a supporting role to the others. A super effort by this small production, family owned vineyard.
