Pear, pineapple, lemon, dried mint and salinity. Focused, unflashy and Chablis-like, needed an hour to be approachable.

Great minerality. Sunflower seeds. Subtle fermented butter. Green figs. 1er cru Chablis.

High acid, very tight, small mouth feel, needs a little time

Like a tubby ballerina, with excellent spanx. Fabulous rich honey and fruit that never struck me as out of balance. Oak not fully integrated yet, needed another couple years maybe.

Outstanding texture and palate weight- but balanced and never heavy.. Heady and elegant.. Sonoma coast channeling Mersault.

Beautiful bright acidity that resonates with an incredibly balanced finish for minutes on end.
