Fresh, pithy, slightly herbal, stone fruit, citrus. Very well done.

Just trying to figure out what this blend is. It’s like the game “Clue”.
it was Ben Jordan, finding vineyards... loaded with phenomenal Vidal BLANC?

Apple, pithy lemon, dried apricot, slate, hay and hints of butterscotch. Good acidity and balance.

2015 vintage. Apricot, pear and Apple. A bit of minerality.

Third bottle I've had and each time it gets more interesting. Love the pepper from the Petit Menseng and its crispness. Fun for outside sipping on a warm day.

This was the most interesting wine of the tasting. Blend petit Menseng, Pinot Gris, Sauv Blanc and a few other grapes. Opens up as it warms up in the glass. Aromatic nose with a hint of sweetness but completely dry on the palate. The Menseng gives it a fun spicy finish.

Crisp, lots of minerality, tropical hints, a nice twang.
