"The nose on this bottling is very brisk and tightly woven, offering aromas of lime-soaked gravel, Asian pear and white blossoms. The palate is zippy with acidity and chalky in texture, with honeydew and slightly riper pear flavors. ‡ Matt Kettmann"

"A fresh, restrained and textural white that has aromas and flavors of apricot, crushed stone, salted almond and white grapefruit. It's medium-bodied with a chalky mineral finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

"Poached pear, Fuji apple and pineapple notes are fresh and juicy on a medium body, with orange blossom, candied ginger and lemon drop hints. Shows firm acidity and a toasted sesame seed detail on the finish. Vermentino and Grenache Blanc. Drink now. 3,114 cases made. From California.—M.W."
