  Pale yellow colour showing some green hints. Fresh and aromatic nose; fruit-forward showing notes of ripe pear, green apple, honey, burnt orange and marked minerality. Medium bodied and acid driven on the palate, but rich texturally, with pear and orange notes, a honeyed texture, and crisp minerality. Briny, bitter note present on the finish. Oak use is felt rather than tasted. Decent length. Quite nice.

  Bright citrus nose with lemon grass.
  Taste bright and mouthwatering with mild grapefruit and smooth mellow oak finish. Excellent wine and value will buy again.

  Maybe a year past prime. Not up to past bottles but still very drinkable.

  lots of minerality and citrus; initially sweet, but ends in a dry finish. First guess was Alsace or at least old world, surprised it came from Oregon. Nicely done!

  Discovering Wine: A nose of pear and hints of cantaloupe, this light bodied, pale straw hued wine has a soft mouth feel with tastes of white peach and pear. The finish is short with white peach and pear.
