Bright medium yellow in color with aromas of lemon, green apple, and white flowers. The palate is driven by racy acidity and stony minerality. Combines fruit from predominantly Nekia soils in Salem’s Bunker Hill, Eola-Amity Hills including Lingua Franca Estate Vineyard, Yamhill-Carlton, and a small contribution from Laubejac Vineyard near Monmouth in Willakenzie soils. Very pleasant entry level wine. 13% ABV. $35.

Prefer French burgundies for lower price but complex and enjoyable

2019-09-07 Love it. $38. Crisp and mellow, not too acidic or citrusy, not oaky. Good minerality. Enjoying on its own, but also imagining pairing with tender grilled octopus, Barceloneta style. Yum!
