No notes, but delicious with a pretty broad palate.

Ripe style. Good acid and minerality to balance a slightly tropical sweetness on the finish. Middle is a bit thin, but enjoyable overall.

Very aromatically challenged. Stone fruit and melon with minerality slowing building towards the end. Richer style, a bit atypical. Seems overly ripe despite the moderate ABV.

Super expressive on the nose and on the palate. Citrus/floral aromas and very expressive flavors. notes of lychee, honey, apple. Good acidity with a nice dry finish. Great to pair with sushi

Dry, pretty tannic, not a whole lot of body
