Pale lemon, aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, melon and citrus zest. Medium finish ending with fruit, lively acidity and slight spicy floral character.

Soft. Pear blossom. Melon rind. Tangerine peel. Faintly creamy on the finish.

Apple, lemon, hay, slate, stone fruit and hints of almonds. Great acidity and minerality.

Whoa...this was a huge surprise. Served double blind. This wine almost came across as Riesling from the Nahe or even an Austrian Grüner Veltliner from a good producer. Pale color, slightly green tinged...steely looking. Lifted aromatics with all kinds of stone fruit, some green apple, some white flowers, some mangosteen and a little bit of a benzine note. On the palate it’s more fruit cocktail but not sweet...just a very open wine with a really nice spine of acid. Great finish. None of us thought Pinot Gris or New World and yet it was such a pleasant surprise when it was revealed. Definitely a wine if distinction. Keep an eye out for this bargain.

Prickly unripened pineapple, medium acidity. Lots of unripened fruit with little hints of citrus pith. Great with fish, on it's own or as an alternative to Pinot Grigio
