My new Favorite white, just love mountain fruit! Named for mountain range dividing Napa & Sonoma, old stone winery dug into side of dormant volcano crater in 1889, remained in production ever since. Pale lemon with aromas of Tropical and stone fruit with complex spice and blossom notes. On the palate apple, pear and citrus zest flavors with light oak and honey tones, fresh and vibrant, well integrated. Long finish ending with flinty mineral characteristics. Long aging potential. Nice!

Just a big while tropical explosion. Burgundy style, yet dense pineapple and white stone fruit. Elegant color. Exotic nose. Winner.

Another Wednesday Wine Committee in the books. Great hosting by @Bill Makens . 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine all served blind.
Potential for this to increase in score over the next 5-7yrs. Very similar to the Saint Aubin burgundy before it, but slightly more reductive. Grilled poached pear, wet rock, lemon honey and honeysuckle dominate, with ripping acidity powering this wine to the finish. Hold and enjoy in a few years.

This was so dynamite..fresh, ripe pears and lemons, slight earth and button mushrooms with med + acid, love the slight buttery and nutty long finish. I could have guessed if blinded..Meursault..well done.,
