Dark yellow with cloudiness like an interesting urine sample. Heavy passionfruit on nose. 30 second finish. My last bottle of his vintage - properly cellared and held up beautifully. My favorite wine of Abe's and testimony to my belief that he has a real touch with white wines. Thank you Abe!

I'm not sure I've ever had a wine that smelled so vividly of passionfruit. Apricot, wheat, pink grapefruit, apricot, one of those wines that smells deceptively like late harvest and looks like one too despite being dry. Interesting more than good, but quite enjoyable with the right food.

This has a distinct pine cone note on the nose, along with grapefruit and herbs. The palate is more citrus along with notes of nectarine, herbs, pine and florals. Light acidity, medium minerality.

- Last bottle. Consistent with previous notes. Still quite pleasurable, if a little less aromatic. I was concerned about longevity, but it seems as if this bottle is still going strong. Opens quite nicely after about 40 minutes. Drink or hold.

Not for me. All sorts of interesting, non-traditional aromas and flavors going on here but not sure I was enjoying many, if any, of them.
