Wow! Delicious Gruner from PA! Dry, crisp with citrus, herb and hint of lentil. Long finish.

Shockingly good Gruner from Pennsylvania!

Apr 24th, 2018So clean and crisp! Bright notes of celery, whispers of silky peach, and snaps of minerality. Intriguing pops of grassy knolls with a tingling on the tongue like a rushing river cascading over a rocky bed. It's like a cross between a Sauvignon Blanc and a dry Riesling. Simply delicious! And this isn't even their Stone Cellar Gruner that won prestigious awards! Sadly I forgot that bottle at a friends house. Hanging my head in shame...going to have to get another one!

Light gold color with a greenish hue. Aromas of tropical fruits, white flowers and grapefruit. Green fruits (apple, melon and pear) on the palate with a noticeable flavor of white pepper. Finishes with a flush of lemon and lime. Gripping acidity and slightly spritzy out of the bottle. (A bit sharp) Best with food. I have had better vintages of this surprisingly good and consistent PA Gruner but this one is solid.

I loved this bottle. A crisp start on the palate, notes of green apple & lemon peel.

Dec 5th, 2020Shocker! Complex earthy fruity notes with just a petrol hint. Nicely balanced and acidic lively texture that screams give me good food! Carries though to finish. A real surprise and AA7 steal.

Aug 31st, 2020Pretty disappointing vintage of this wine. Very non-descript wine. Not much on the nose. Lychee and apple on the pallet. Bitter on the finish and low on acidity.

Jun 14th, 2020A crisp and “minerally” PA White. Straw gold in color with a green hue. Aromas of pear, straw and lemon grass. Flavors of pear, fresh thyme, and slate. Zippy acidity. Really good.
