pale gold; a lot of Riesling character on the nose; very mineral on the palate, racy acidity, 13.5 % ABV; field blend of 35% Riesling, 33% Pinot Blanc, 18% Pinot Gris, and 14% Gewürtztraminer in an Alsatian style, named after Abraxas God of the 365 heavens; consumed out of 1.5L bottle, still quite fresh

Tropical, fresh, structured, a little crazy - just the way I like my wine.

Perfect way to end a Friday afternoon at work. Sipping a fresh aromatic delicious Magnum of a white wine blend with fantastic work colleagues. We played the varietal guessing game which no one got right.

Really nice blend, well rounded, almost a touch of butterscotch in it, along with tropical fruit accents.

While an older vintage, it’s done a great job keeping alive. Minerals, oxidization, dried apricots, and pears really make this an enjoyable experience to drink at a Bluegrass festival!

Pale yellow. Pungent nose, white stone fruit. Lavender. High acid should hold up well with fish and or chicken dish.

Unripe yellow fruit, funky melon mid palate, and a tropical fruit finish. Always interesting.
