Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Brought to a little summer porch gathering. No formal notes but my recorded thoughts were that the wine poured a bright, light straw color. On the nose, lemon citrus and light floral notes. On the palate, citrus and minerals with medium++ (I would almost call this high) acid. Almost a ferrous quality to the lemon/lime finish. So many minerals. Craving seafood!

Lightly oaked with lovely bright fruits such as lemon, pear, yellow apple and subtle peach. Very clean with minerality and we'll balanced acidity. This wine is absolutely delicious and refreshing!

Claude Gillet luncheon in Dundee - tasty melon that went perfectly with oysters. A richer version, but still plenty of acid!

This wine has so much going for it! Crisp, minerality, stone fruit...and then it's overshadowed by a charred wood note. I tried it over a period of days with a variety of glasses. Just not my idea of a crisp, tantalizing white.

Clean taste, minerality is high and well balanced acidity. Good with seafood - light fruits like pear and lemon
