Astonishing and hedonistic dry white wine. Cloudy yellow color because it’s unfiltered. Nose is gorgeous with apple, pear, peach, talcum, white pepper, sweet citrus, and just a touch of anise. Palate shows palate-cleansing bright acidity and nice tannins alongside green avocado, Meyer lemon, sweet farmers cheese, lemony tart key lime pie, and toasted pastry flour (as in a waffle-shaped sugar cookie). Finish is very long. This is fantastic wine. Impressive.

Outstandingly complex nose of yellow peach, overripe pear, popcorn, spice, and fragrant white flowers. Fruit and savory notes, including mushroom, carry through on the palate. Super fun to drink.

Delightfully textural, but a bit oxidized too. Still, this was a lot of fun to taste and observe over the course of several hours. The roussanne comes through first, but the marsanne feels like it makes up the bulk of the structure by lending good weight and body.

shared by a friend (might not be released yet.) Roussanne & Marsanne 50/50 and some portion is skin fermented, but don't have specifics.
Color is a cloudy, pineapple yellow. Nose is expressive; lemon peel, orange, peach skin. In the mouth is quite bright,tart - meyer lemon, baked pineapple, apple. Long finish.
