December 7, 2022 - Pale straw yellow in the glass. Pear and tropical fruit on the nose that translates into a succulent mouth watering stone fruit and mineral palate. Moderate length pear finish.

July 16, 2022 - Flinty, slightly reductive nose, with meyer lemon and white stone fruit after receiving air. Full bodied, yet fresh palate, silky, with minerality. Long finish. Aged on lees without oak, a lot of similarity to Chardonnay made in this way, nice delicious factor even if aromas are not wowing.

November 5, 2021 - Nose > Rich, very aromatic, stony/smoky/flinty yellow orchard fruit & white flowers.
Tart nectarine, apricot, lanolin, fresh cream, cantaloupe, unsweetened whipped cream & lavender.
Big, interesting & complex.
Palate > Stony, firm, & packed with mineralized/salty yellow orchard fruit, spice & tart fruit flavors.
Unsweetened whipped cream, lavender & tart nectarine skin with subtle touch of skin tannins in extended finish.
Great acid balance. Lots going on from when it hits your palate to echoing aftertaste.
Both rich & firm. Great balance, tension & length. Medium+ intensity.
A ton going on with both nose & palate. Lots of interest, & works seamlessly.
Nice QPR @$20-ish
