The wine is a clear, pale gold color showing medium viscosity. On the nose the wine is moderately intense with youthful fruit aromas of lemon, Braeburn apple, and melon. Non-fruit aromas of white flowers, chamomile tea and cut clover. The wine is intensely mineral on the nose showing salty, saline characteristics. On the palate, the wine is dry but textural with lemony fruit flavors and creaminess. Blanched almond and floral notes play a supporting role the this wines strong mineral/limestone flavor. A wine of medium weight, bright acidity, and low grip. This wine finishes rather short with lingering tart lemon and mineral flavors.

Quite impressive. Love the minerality. Probably not a long ager.

Medium yellow. Ripe fruit nose for a 2008. Medium weight, good texture, then taut lemon/papaya and mineral finish. Very good.
