May 11th, 2019Nose was Bell Pepper, jalapeno, white pepper, cantaloupe, pear, peaches, pineapple, minerality - though subdued. Taste was dry white peach, Wet stone, salinity, white pepper and jalapeno. How balanced was this wine? Getting close to setting the bar. This is a phenomenal white. Just a hint of juicy fruit, transitioning into salty salinity and stone, and a complexity - left like a puzzling hint in a scavenger hunt that eventually leads to the next sip, where I'm still standing... Searching. Haunting is an overused adjective, but here it is so apt as to beg forgiveness while usurping it from all other imbibements.
