  PnP, chilled. Some 14 months since our previous bottle and although this bottle showed well, it was a bit less impressive - a bit less defined - than that previous bottle. The color was a clear medium yellow. There was mostly minerality and some citrus on the nose. On the medium bodied palate there was lemon/lime and minerality, with nicely juicy acidity. A smooth and balanced version of Grenache Blanc that should probably be enjoyed within the next year or two.

  Still very nice mineral and green apple. Not advanced in age!

  Almost identical to our previous bottle on 7/14/21, so I repeat that TN with minor changes here:
  Slo-oxed for 10 minutes, chilled. A clear medium yellow. Lots of minerality and some white fruit on the nose. On the medium to plus bodied palate there is lemon, minerality, green apple, and some pear with nicely juicy acidity that cleanses the palate. A very good, fresh, smooth and balanced version of Grenache Blanc that should hold for another couple of years.

  Deep yellow gold. In great shape (screwcap), fresh, bright flavors with some deepening of the yellow apple, nectarine stone fruit notes, lemon more Meyer than standard. Refreshing bitter lemon finish.

  Very well balanced on the lush-acid line, lemon-lime fruit and blossom perfume, some crushed rock, a hint of saline.
