August 26, 2016 - Medium nose of under-ripe stone fruits and green apple along with light mineral notes. Crisp and clean on the palate. Zippy acidity provides freshness and length. Light to medium body and this is far more about the mineral/acid than fruit. Pleasant and easy to drink.

June 26, 2016 - Frankly not appreciably more enjoyable than the Sonoma Coast, which was half the price.

April 3, 2016 - Beautiful, full nose leads with minerals and salinity, which is followed with rich peach and apple fruit, with a touch of yeasty, wooly baked bread. The palate has medium weight with big tangy acids and more bready white fruit and a citrus zest. Medium finish. Great balance and tension in this wine. A lot in common with Chablis or possibly Puligny.

September 27, 2015 - Pure, lifted nose of pear, green apple and mineral. Palate bursts with juicy, tart acidity. Full of cut and energy. Medium bodied, racy, Chablis like profile. Fresh and clean finish is persistent.

May 26, 2015 - Full crisp nose has white fruit, river water, crushed stones and citrus zest. Palate delivers mouth puckering acidity and medium weight green apple fruit. Linear and focused. Really good stuff.
