  Fine tuned and so easy to drink. Super complex at the same time, lemon rind, smoke, sea salt, kumquats.

  Clean and refined. Lemon, green apple, medium-ripe peach, and light cream are in balance, and hazelnut aromas are just starting to emerge. There’s an underlying savoriness. Nothing here sticks out. Oak is barely noticeable. The finish has good length and energy.

  Loire Night (Bear and Star, Los Olivos, CA): Tart, closed and acid-dominated. Notes of clove and orange oil. Reductive. Bottle variation?

  Big nose on this wine- green apple and Bright lemon.
  On the palate, medium alcohol. Medium Body. High acid. Unripe lemon, slight minerality notes of peach-pit. Really Nice!!

  Pre-tasting Ch. Breze (Home (Noe st)): Pale yellow, with reflections of gold.
  Exciting nose - squeaky waxy green apple, ripe lemon, and a hint of underripe peach. Buttercream and slightly baked apples too. Well-integrated nose. The nose seems to have texture. There's a nutty waxiness to the nose as well.
  On the palate, medium in body and alcohol. High+ acid, mostly strong tartaric. Perfect lemon buttercream with waxy lemon-apple-peach-pit fruit. Amazing.
