New vintage for me. Pale white, excellent clarity. Notes of hay and citrus with a hint of peach in nose. Flavors of grapefruit and lemon, as stated on label; hint of apple, real length of fruit on the lemon. Nice acidity, slightly drying on palate from acid and skin astringency. Really good food wine here, I would think

My fourth and last bottle of the vintage. Call me a fan...

Like the fruit and varietal character. Drink local. I'll back my earlier tasting notes; the third time is the charm, apparently as I keep buying another bottle when I'm out

Pale yellow white in color. Floral, green herb and citrus notes in nose. Lemon, mint and herb (sage?) notes in mouth, a hint of tangerine and nectarine as well, minerality on finish. Some minor astringency on palate, but pleasantly so. Good acidity and fruit, somewhat different winemaking style. A nice table wine you can sip beforehand.

E buono ma non e speciale alla ore stessa. Ci sarebbe un altro piu buono mercato come ginsen New Zealand Marborough Sauvgnion Blanc. Ma sono felice di abere cercato i vini locali a Seattle. Vorrei studiare piu.

Lovely buttery citrus nose. Sharp acidity uplifts the fruit. The early palate is so intense that I feared the finish would quickly mellow but the flavor softened elegantly lassssttiiingggg. Excellent wine.

Crisp clean nose but has a wonderful acid tinged apricot blast at first sip. Lacks a little body but finished well.

Straw in the sunshine, stones, crisp apple, lemon, with a lush texture. A treat!
