Clear pale lemon gold w/ a watery rim. Light legs. On the nose, it is clean and moderately intense. Youthful notes of grass, light citrus, and a touch of baking spice. On the palate it is dry w/ medium plus acidity. Moderate alcohol, slightly thin body. Flavor is moderately intense showing grass, pineapple, and citrus. Nice length.

Crystal clear with a beautiful strawberry color. Plenty of legs. Nose is full of strawberry and raspberry. Very primary fruit but with a bit of fermentation smells. On the palate fairly plain jane with moderate acidity but fairly hot.

Clear, yellow color with nearly no legs. Fairly expressive nose showing an apricot nuttiness and maybe a slight bit of oxidation. Thick body that has the initial impression of being watered down - somewhat like an overripe Viognier. Still a really interesting wine with clean acidity and an curious off-beat nose.
