Delicious skin contact ribolla. Citrus (& peel), minerality, good acidity. Held up nicely over a few days.

Seriously tasty. Dried apricot and pineapple. Had a little funk upon opening but blew off in about 30 minutes. Really evolved in the glass as the temperature rose.

Lemon peel, beeswax honey nose. Serious white wine. Needs a bit more time to unlock the palette fully.

Picked up this wine in Napa, it goes wonderful with our "wish it was summer" dinner of brats, beet slaw, potato & pasta salad
