  October 21, 2017 - Another well made Palmina alternative white. Nice roundness and dimension without ever feeling heavy or cloying. Perfect acidity to keep it bright and clean.

  June 18, 2017 - Nice mouth filling and full body wine reminds me of a viscous viognier or Rousanne. Spiced pear and apple with some decent acidity. A unique and enjoyable varietal.

  September 29, 2016 - Petaluma Wine Group BYO at Seared: Ripe peach. Rich but dry. Creamy with a little oak, vanilla, dry finish. Not sweet. Heavy weight for a white wine. Could lead to some interesting food pairings.

  April 28, 2016 - Palmina: Medium yellow color. Wow, this is such a floral/tropical medley on the nose: lychee, pineapple, kiwi, green table grapes, honeysuckle, wow – I feel like you could dab this on your neck like perfume and smell amazing for a few hours. Medium-bodied on the palate, the zesty acidity balanced out nicely against the plush tropical fruits. I get guava, pineapple, lychee and mango, but it’s drizzled with lime and ginger and topped with flowers, flowers and flowers – and some mountain stream minerals. I’m usually less a fan of this much tropical and floral intensity, but this is also a nervy, refreshing and profoundly easy-drinking wine. Delicious. A light 12% alcohol, this is aged 12 months in old French oak. One of the best non-Italian examples of this grape I’ve tasted.

  April 26, 2016 - The nose is floral, white flowers, lemon verbena, some just ripe white nectarine, & passion fruit
  Palate is prounced flavors of citrus orange or tangelo, stone fruits, a slight herbal note, savory ginger, lingering finish, great acidic backbone and concentration of flavors have a bottle left will revisit in a year or two.
