Grassy notes and minerality or flintiness dominates the nose. Grape and tropical green papaya on the palate, nice crispness.

Refreshing. A white Bordeaux sub $12 that's both smooth AND flavorful is uncommon. Near-clear appearance, fruity taste but quite dry, quick bitter finish keeps you wanting more. Complements mild assorted cheeses nicely, but it won't stand up well to BBQ or anything spicy. Nonetheless, enjoyable outdoors for its freshness.

2014 vintage - has a saline quality that is refreshing. Not so much fruit, as it is bone dry, but lots of minerality.

Has seen better days... It has the green olive characters that tell me this is not going to last long.
