TASTING NOTES
Quite frankly, a stunner. This wine shows aromas of sweet hay, bright lemon and ripe peaches followed by a zippy palate with beautiful weight and pure county acidity. As per John Szabo, Master Sommelier: "It’s all about the County tension - there’s real verve and an electric current running through - as well as the typical limestone twang and equally common salinity and sapidity… Great palate presence and complexity, a mineral lover’s selection to be sure, crystalline and pure.”
