This wine is sort of amazing in how it takes so many unexpected turns, yet remains effortless. Slight yeast and flower aromas on the nose; the palate gains sweetness and ripeness until the finish which comes across clean and mineral driven. Highly recommend this.

Super funky when opened, cleared up to reveal the Pinon we know and love. Honey and quince and citrus and weight. Prefect with Dungeness crab cakes.

Smells like honey. Nice balance of sweet and acidity in texture and taste.

Aromas of orange blossoms. A bit of residual sugar without being overpowering. Great with spicy food or really strong flavored foods such as truffle cheese or habanero almonds.
