As I’ve come to expect from Terlan, this is outstanding for the $20ish price range. Apple with hint of lemon, mountain water and rocks, salty, something vaguely herbal like thyme. Modest complexity but stellar bargain price food wine (beautiful with a garlicky cream sauce pasta with edamame).

The notes below are spot on. Leaner and grassier on opening, with some floral and almost creamy without being buttery/oaky notes coming through with air. Best at around 50F with an hour of air after being opened. Well done for the price.
Had at the Vista. I drank half the bottle. Vvv

Creamy nose, apples, Mineral, light body, prickly, touch grassy, green apples. Lean, just a touch of creaminess. Quite nice. Just tried this again, pulled the cork rather than Coravin. Huge difference, much richer, honey and floral notes. Really rather gorgeous. Just needs some air.

This is drinking very well. Citrus, honey blossom, but the main element in this wine is the mouthfeel. This wine has great flavor concentration and a rich texture from lees contact. Very good Pinot Blanc.

Lovely white fruit and flowers, with just a hint of Indian spice (can’t put my finger on which one). Has a fairly rich texture, but very fresh and clean.

Light straw color. Apple, pear, and a hint of rubber smell. Apple and pear on the palate with a slight bit of acidity. Overall on a hot day was very pleasant.

Bright and tart, not too aggressive though, a fair bit of pear and apple come through, little bits of herb resonate on the palate finishing, a lingering hint of brioche as well.

What a fun wine! This starts off bright and citrusy before transitioning to a softer braised pear and liquid stone type mid-palate and finishes with a zippy, acid-infused saline wash with lingering pear/grapefruit flavors. Great energy, generous mid-palate, lingering finish...it's all there. Nice wine at the price

-- first glass poured about 20 min. before initial taste -- -- tasted non-blind --
NOSE: "bright" and floral; hints of reduction/petrol and cardamom.
BODY: pale yellow color; light to medium-light bodied.
TASTE: very dry; salty and steely mineral; medium+ acidity; very nice; kind of like a Central Coast Sauv. Blanc, but with stronger mineral tones; 13% alc. not noticeable; light, but non-descript fruit --- maybe white peach, or light (not sweet) lychee?; zippy; electric acid; my score may be a touch low. Nice QPR on this sub-$20 bottle.

On night two, a pleasant distinct hint of banana. Refrigerator temperature is too cold for this wine. 50-55 F better. Overall, a good wine, even good when mispaired with veg lasagna

A classic pinot blanco , crispy pears and green apples hint of lemon, well balance acidity with a minerality.

Smooth with hint of butter but so restrained that it keeps this a subtle classy Pinot blanc, pleasant acidity with bright finish make this a winner.

Good. Strong mineral and citrus aromas, apple/pear flavors, medium acidity, fairly full body, somewhat bitter finish. Better when colder.

Beautiful wine -- loads of citrus, mineral, complexity. Woiuld go with any white wine food, and drinks nicely by itself.
