Dec 27th, 2021Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral and vanilla aromas, with hints of wet wool and sun-dried linen. Good acid, lemon, peach and apple flavors, slightly bitter finish. Varietally on point, bone dry but fruity to my reckoning

Feb 13th, 2020Colombia Valley, Old Vines. 4090 cases. Yellow, excellent clarity. Vanilla/floral nose. Lemon, melon and peach flavors, some skin astringency and minerality on finish. Dry to off-dry with tangerine-citrus aftertaste. Easy, even delightful drinking but more acid would seal the deal. Great value, regardless.
