"Exquisite apple blossom and honeysuckle aromatics with a lifted herbal and mineral energy carrying through to the palate; radiant and fresh with a bright acidity and elegant finish."

"Notes of flint, green herbs, green apricots and grapefruit pith. Gentle nutty undertones. Flavorful and very present, with a medium body and creamy, lengthy finish. Delicious now."

"This wine knows no boundaries. It is at once immediately delicious, exciting and interesting but also is still holding back, daring you to see what some age will do. Today, the wine is a cornucopia of Meyer lemon, nectarine, alpine flowers, fresh grass and pine, all brought together by a minerality that won't let you forget it. The palate is rich with fresh and baked peaches, kissed with sweet spices and lemongrass. Citrus oils and wet gravel add to the wine on the bright and vibrant finish. Drink now†2033. ‡ Jeff Porter"

"An elegant white, fresh with well-cut acidity, offering delicate herb and orchard blossom aromas that accent mandarin orange and grapefruit sorbet flavors. Sleek and minerally through the lingering finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,750 cases made, 200 cases imported."
