Salty mango on a boat at sea. A storm cloud lingers in the distance, but you’re not frightened. You’ve got oysters and lemons, and let’s be honest, you could survive off only that for weeks. But luckily, you captured a papaya in your net. “No such thing as a bad day” is your motto. Pair with pets for a Yellow Labrador. Super approachable, always here for a good time.

Pale yellow and concentrated aromas of stone fruits, citrus and floral notes. The palate shows peaches and apricots with a tangy mineral focus with a chalky edge. Balanced acidity helped this wine age well, and still will over the next 3 to 5 years. On the vibrant finish, the wine is almost creamy with lemon zest and a medium+ mineral ending. Nice consistent quality.

Pale yellow color with green edges and concentrated aromas of stone fruits, citrus and floral notes. The palate shows peaches and apricots with a tangy mineral focus with a chalky edge. Pronounced acidity lifts this wine and will let it age and refine over the next 3 to 5 years. On the vibrant finish, the wine is crisp with lemon zest and a medium+ mineral ending. Nice consistent quality.

Pale straw yellow color, white and stone fruit aromas with floral scents. The palate is very crisp with peach, Apple and hints of citrus flavors, adding a good bit of minerality. Medium finish on a soft ending. A pleasant wine.
