The Asian pear, toasted filbert and Golden Delicious apple-skin aromas, with a touch of chalk dust, reminded me of other grapes. The tart apricot, orange, saline and oregano-bloom flavors made me stop thinking and start enjoying this stainless-steel-fermented gem. The acidity is tangy, but thanks to 50% malo, there's also a nice round mouthfeel.

The 2021 White Pinot Noir pours a pale salmon hue, with aromas of white strawberry, wet stone, and roses. The palate is ripe with peach, honeydew melon, and orange pith. This is an interesting and savory wine for the table. Drink 2022-2024.
