Pear, apricot, and birch. White minerals. Just a touch of cream and viscosity. medium, light bodied. Best American Pinot Gris I’ve had.

Great precision between creamy tropical fruit & clean minerality. Cake batter & pineapple nose. Fresh peach, melons, mango skin. Finishes dry, with big 13.9 ABV. Good stuff.

Straightforward nose of Bartlett pear, intoxicating tropical fruit, and clear oak nuance expressed as vanilla, nutmeg, and clove. Palate is balanced beautifully and has it all. Acid, the right amount of RS, fresh coconut and mango all focused and well structured. Lengthy, complex, enjoyable. Only $22!

Clean. Touch of sweetness, and that unmistakable chalk/mineral that all Lichen whites have. Great with Thai food.

Really nice with the hammering of cold plates in our shared family meal. Floral, lemon zest, spiced pear, saline and mineral. Nice palate weight and richness but great acidity and a long, lingering lessey finish. Fabulous.

This was lovely. Bright peach and lime zest on the nose, with a refreshing tartness and semisweetness on the palate. Love love love
