It was born as a heavy weight Jurassic indeed, tidal waves of flavor stoney fruit as hell, fresh young white peach pith, with clarified butter accents , quince paste texture, baked golden apple skins! Lemon chiffon cake dry backside, it lures me in paired well w/
Ahi , but might pair better with cake or lighter fish barramundi or tilefish

Red, white, Rose...the guy knows what he is doing. Clean, pure, balanced, and just damn fun to have in your glass.

Excellent old world expression of gruner coming from an unlikely area. Well done with good balance, bright acidity, intense floral notes, under ripe pear and a mineral finish.

Such a cool expression of Chenin blanc. Rich w bright acidity - notes of sunflower seeds (?!), stone fruits and white flowers. Kept changing in the glass, too. I love drinking wines like this!
