A touch leesy/floral on the nose, with dusty, talc minerals, a touch of white pepper and faint pear fruit. This is light and taut in the mouth with splendid acidity and somewhat lean fruit buffered with an edge of creaminess that creates real tension in the mouth. The fruit is earthy and lightly spicy, recalling slight unripe pear peelings with that fine, hard underlining acidity that drives the finish, which adds a hint of honeycomb complexity on the moderately long finish. This has a fine insinuation of classic Pinot Grigio bitterness, but adds just a touch of seasoning here and some length on the finish. 90pts

Very little here of substance (in fact, the wine is almost clear!), but still refreshing on a hot day. I feel the heat more than any crisp, light notes, even though it's not too hot.

The nose is a bit peachy and candy-like, which belies some of the complexities in the palate. Nice acidic body w/ a coconut oiliness, mineral finish that has good length. Hints of melon.
