Enjoyed the 2020 a bit more. Solid wine but sweeter (just a touch so) than expected. Needs a bit more zip. The 2020 being a bit better makes me wonder if I should have kept the 2022 a little longer before opening — a month ago

My dad shared this delightfully fresh and fruity drop at Hawks Nest. It was a Pinot blanc tho, not whatever this claims to be. Delish and easy — 2 years ago

A super convincing Edelzwicker/Gentil style white blend of Kerner, Riesling, and Bacchus. Racy acid and lots of green apple and citrus notes. — 6 years ago

Golden with aromas of honeysuckle, butterscotch, and bruised apple. On the bud, it’s dry with more bruised apple and very mouth filling. Medium finish. Quite nice with our walnut crusted Salmon! — 3 months ago
