Lemongrass and acid, but with a surprising amount of weight (especially at 12.4% abv). Honeydew shows up on palate, with gobs of minerality on the finish. The wine seems a little extreme - not quite balanced. But a great take on an interesting varietal.

Lemon & honeydew nose. Fresh, crisp & bright. High acid brings a bone dryness in the mouth. Brings you right back to the glass again & again. Boushey fruit never disappoints.

Pair with a triple cream cheese and go directly to heaven.

Lime zest and marzipan 👃, ripe 🍋 and stone minerality on the 🎨. Burst of acidity in a fun way. A full bodied wine with a lower alcohol than expected. Fun expression of the varietal from Oregon/Washington.

Full body fruit with lots of minerality. Smooth and lingering lemon finish. Bottle notes indicate citrus zest and wet stone favors. It mentions bone dry taste but I found strong full flavor all the way through to end. Unique and good with shellfish.

Nice lemon/lime with racy acidity that finishes with oyster shell and golden apple.
