"The aroma suggests fresh-cut jalapeño, with a spicy hint that makes the nose prickle. Peppery notes follow on the palate. Jalapeño as well as bell pepper and black pepper are framed with hints of tarragon and graphite. Grapefruit-peel astringency and white-pepper sparks complete the lively finish. Sip or mix. — Kara Newman"

"Tahona, brick ovens, copper pot stills — this blanco ticks all the boxes one might hope for from a "proper" production standpoint on paper, and it delivers on them convincingly. It positively leaps out of the glass as soon as it's poured — intense floral and sour notes, with a hint of pepper, soon taking center stage in the tasting arena. Peppery and vegetal flavors prove a commanding presence on the palate, with a mineral, saline, persisting finish."
