Love that Gewürz spice on the nose. Honey, Brioche, ripe yellow fruit. Delicious!

Sweet but with a nice balance of acid. Honey and pear on the nose. Hits mostly back palate. Held up nicely to food but good to enjoy on it's own on a night warm evening.

One of the most underrated whites coming out of Oregon. All Biodynamic. Great aromatics, with a pinch of sweetness. Very versatile wine.

Absolutely loved the 2013 but the 2014 is also a steal at 14 bucks. Great body and zippy acid. This is a super food wine.

Richly aromatic nose of lychee fruit, pineapple, and apricot. Expressive minerality and slight sweetness balanced with refreshing acid. The perfect summer sipper.

Pear, apple, pithy lemon, lychee, limestone and hints of butterscotch. Good acidity and balance.

2013 Borealis, Montinore Estate. Slight tangerines. Nice and soft on the palate with a hint of pineapple.
