Great texture and minerality. Floral and fruit loopy on the nose. Very good.

This was very pleasant, very unique style: far from Condrieu & Santa Barbara renditions... this had bracing acidity and angularity with distinct minerality along w/intriguing aromas of yellow fruit, floral notes (jasmine?) - exotic, bit grassy & herbal, some citrus - maybe ripe tangerine. Mid weight, balanced with impressive finish.

Aromatic nose - ginger root, orange blossom, honeycomb, and white peach. Oily texture with Asian spices and stone fruits. Medium minus weight, with a little warmth to the finish. Fun nose to this one!

Floral nose with apricot and hints of peach fruit forward on the palate, followed by a strong mineral and chalky medium finish. Pair with white fish, pasta, or wherever you need acidity to balance the meal.

Some buttery oak on the nose. Flavor is rich and buttery. Good acidity. Flavorful and nice lasting finish.

Off-dry with medium finish, minerality, stone fruits and green apple. Underperforms even the Costco price— not likely to buy again.

This wine is so crisp and delicious. Our local wine shop keeps a stash in the back just for us!
