Medium bodied. Fresh and food friendly.

Light straw: floral top-note with peach/nectarine and mineral; palate medium-bodied, still full and round with fresh citrus and mineral and a touch of saline to finish. This seems like it may have more to give.

Medium lemon yellow/gold. Lighter on the palate than expected…noticeable acid adds amazing vitality to offset the tart, dry fruit which reminds you of crisp green apples and slightly underripe pear. Depth of complexity is impressive… the main flavors keep changing and mutating drawing you back. The finish lasts a minute and leaves a smile. This wine is an infant…I expect it to gain weight and complexity and smooth itself into something seamless over the next 5 to 10 years. A Chardonnay to convince the haters.
