One of the most underrated whites coming out of Oregon. All Biodynamic. Great aromatics, with a pinch of sweetness. Very versatile wine.

Absolutely loved the 2013 but the 2014 is also a steal at 14 bucks. Great body and zippy acid. This is a super food wine.

Richly aromatic nose of lychee fruit, pineapple, and apricot. Expressive minerality and slight sweetness balanced with refreshing acid. The perfect summer sipper.

Pear, apple, pithy lemon, lychee, limestone and hints of butterscotch. Good acidity and balance.

Flowers and baking spices on the nose. Yellow delicious apples, honey and cinnamon bread on the pallet. A little sweetness. Kind of tastes like a dry mead wine without the viscosity. A good compliment to spicy fare that requires a white wine. The Gewurtz shines through.

Really lovely, big gewurtz on the nose, a tiny touch of RS balances acid and lemon, with florals. Great value.
