Dry, with sweet characteristics. Fresh, easy to drink. Great acidity and crispness. No lemon marmalade or toasty characteristics of dry Rieslings. Stone fruits on the nose. Drinking by the glass $14.

Rather sweet, but not like a late harverst. Combined very well with the saline, mineral structure. Acidic. Doesn't feel bone dry at all. Very easy to drink on its own. Worked great with comte.

Very crisp and clean with some light notes of sweetness. Crisp and bright with a small, tart finish that rounds out a very drinkable wine.

Light straw color with a yellow hue. Slight petrol nose not giving up much more. Thinner than expecting with bright lemon pulp on the pallet and white peach. Lots if acidity. Kelly Overly says its has a briny, funky cheese, and shellfish aromatic. As we drank it lemon calmed down and more of of the funky aromatic along with minerality. Maybe some lees contact?
