Bit of light honey color, my first encounter of this wine (actually producer). Mineral driven, fruit is almost background, with some light citrus-y notes, good acidity, touches of something more herbal, but overall the impression is a leaner, very mineral wine. Probably better with some food, and I wonder if it will flesh out with more bottle age. As someone who likes minerality, and is tolerant of this style, I'm enjoying it, but someone looking for a more fruit driven wine may not.

This wine is round, balanced, and likable. It has decent weight and intensity. It would be a good wine to serve to guests. The flavor profile is a little too round and balanced for my tastes, to the point of tasting generic.

Color: medium gold Nose: yellow rose and peach. Golden delicious apple and minerals for days Palate: medium acidity and medium body, pretty oily texture and hint of bitter. Very nice yellow flowers and yellow peach. Dominated by minerals however Finish: medium-long
Very nice and intense aromas; minerals, and a pretty full wine here. Lovely with raw fish, really. A sip of summer. I preferred it room temp with 30 mins of air.

Great balance here. Light and rich at the same time. Lovely, lingering finish. Grapefruit, flowers sea breeze. Wish I had more.

Damp citrus and orange flower over lucious full body with wax, sassafras, white flowers. Incredible, rich but gently floral.
