Wow an explosion of fresh cut pears on the nose here. Super expressive pears on the palate as well. Lemon zest. Tang. Excellent balance. Very interesting and quite a bit going on here. Saline.

Flavorful, crisp acidity, good weight but not heavy. Kind of a citrus flavor profile - probably on the grapefruit spectrum with some bitter phenolic notes. This was very good at fridge temp but showed more at room temp (70F) and was still refreshing. My wife and I are really enjoying going through all of these interesting Tercero whites.

Wow I would guess this is a Sauvignon Blanc. Bit hit of fresh grass on the nose. Tropical fruit. Very sweet but balanced by zesty acidity. Some white peach on the long finish

Pintag pegged this perfectly. Nice pungent floral nose with some secondary fruity vibes, kiwi is a standout. On palate, real floral and complex, candied lemon, mandarin orange, and vanilla are also standouts. I honestly do not care for the finish which is rather bitter and when you are like “wow how complex!”you are then assaulted with a big bitter finish. Big complexity means a wine to really sip and ponder. Definitely not a porch pounder. 14.2%. Some nice acidity helps to give it nice life and I think it’s pretty nicely balanced. Label recognizes a pairing with a cheese board and I think this would be very nice. Paired with pizza and really doesn’t work.

Got this in the mixed Black Friday 6-pack and this is a happy surprise.
Powerful and fragrant nose that reminds me of Riesling and Sauv Blanc at the same time. Plastic/petrol notes combine with a huge breath of floral elements. Mango and Guava lead off the tropical fruits and some citrus elements finish off the nose. Bright acidity, structured, and very tropical. Palate follows the Mango/Guava lead, followed by grapefruit and sour lemons, sauv blanc grassyiness, citrus zest and pith, light minerals, and floral elements. Long perfumed finish that never goes away.
Normally this is something that I would not pick out for myself. I am very impressed with what showed up in the glass. It really feels like somewhere between a SB and Riesling to me.

Really perfumed with zingy acidity. Explosively flavorful. Lots going on here, super complex flavor profile. Maybe a bit too much, because I found it to be a little bit of a chore to drink. Recommend to take your time with this one, and maybe not something to open if you're looking for chug-able white. I'm not going to give a score here, as I just was not in the mood for this. However, my wife had no problem polishing off the rest of the bottle.

PNP followed over two days. Very pale in color, but quite fragrant and flavorful. Tropical fruit, lychee, guava, some peach and citrus, full bodied, with a bit of beat and a tart finish.

Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Fresh cut pears. Tangy acidity. Light floral. Some crushed gravel. Very nice.

Another interesting white from Larry. Nice floral on the nose. Tangy citrus fruit. Lime? Mineral. Finishes with some lift. Very nice.

An interesting white. Stone fruit and a bit more body than many whites.
