Pale yellow and clear. Straw and herbs on nose. Grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, Crenshaw melon and creamy viscousness (lees contact?) in mouth, moderate skin astringency on finish. Nice flavors, free run/pressing a tad rough given skin tannins.

Ending the year on a high note with a Wednesday Wine Committee appearance. As always, wines are tasted blind. This week, there was 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 2 reds and 1 dessert.
I really tried to put this outside the US, but ultimately guessed west coast SB. Lots of citrus/tart notes, but lower acidity than my favorite SBs. Not much stone fruit and graphite. Definitely meant to be enjoyed young.
