Minerals, butter, lemon aromas.

Salted pineapple, zippy acidity, honeycomb, warm sugar. Dry but rich fruit.

Bright lemony, floral and peppery with a hint of mango on the nose. Rounder than I remember the previous vintage to be but nicely balanced by the acidity and salinity. Held its own with sockeye salmon with jerk seasoning and charred broccoli!

Hit the spot. Not super complicated. I thought it was dry and crisp with a bit of body. I heard sweet.

Honey and wildflowers and minerality. I love alpine wines so much.

2009. Nose is floral, with an almost-salty minerality. Palate mirrors the nose & then shifts toward citrus. Really good!
