  Perfect bottle for early summer.... really, perfect anytime. Crisp, refreshing and easy to enjoy but at the same time if you want to sit and think it shows all sorts of interesting nuisance and character. Expressive nose with notes of ripe strawberry, peach, lemon zest and salinity. Mineral driven, great acid. Red fruits with a slight herbal note at the finish. Checks off all the boxes.

  Faired nicely with bbq'd Salmon with a splash of BBQ sauce. Pear, cherry skin, saline, vanilla, and flowers. Love this wine!

  On the first magnificent spring day of the year, it seemed appropriate to open up one of my favorite rosés (or is it a white?!) from last summer to see how it was coming along.
  
  Cameron's wines are so complex, so fun. Something in the nose reminiscent of strawberry shortcake turns to cherry pie on the tongue, along with peaches and a bit of cinnamon. There's a whiff of something that I'd swear was limestone, except that there's no limestone in the Dundee Hills, so I'll just assume it's a relic of John Paul's mad genius manifesting in the glass. Soft, medium-length finish that leaves a smooth, mossy flavor.
  
  I enjoyed my first bottle of this last August a little too much to remember to leave a tasting note (oops), but it seems to have improved after 9-ish months in hiding.

  On a nasty rainy March evening, this wine was a welcome blast of summery pleasure. Consistent with previous notes, remarkable complexity from Pinot Gris fruit. White flowers, stone fruit, and a bracing blast of sea breeze on both the nose and the palate. Lovely silken texture, just excellent and so enjoyable.

  Rich and lively aromas of tangerine citrus, lavender, potpourri, and dried lemon. Wonderfully textured and quite full bodied, as excellent orange citrus and orchard fruit compete with crushed gravel, bright herbs, and mouth watering acidity. Really enjoyable and rather unique. Drink or hold.
