92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$28 list] This slightly richer take on this grape starts with warmer aromas of baked peach and tropical flowers, with that underlying green streak still apparent. The palate packs in stonefruit and melon, resting up against a chalky texture and bright, lemony acidity. Alcohol 14.3%. (Dec 2022)"
Producer notes: "Aromatically, this wine leads with a salty citrus edge with earth tones that have exotic hints of North African spices. From there is a depth of jasmine and beautiful citrus driven tropical fruit, reminiscent of squeezing a lime wedge over the fruit of a half cut Papaya. You can’t hide the ever so present ripe grapefruit component that we often refer to as Squirt…the infamous grapefruit soda. It has a harmonious balance of ripeness but a ton of verve and energy on the palate. A base of salty citrus, ginger and white pepper mingle with grapefruit that all lead to a savory zesty finish drenched in minerality. This wine touches both sides of the Grüner spectrum, bright, fresh and vibrant along with texture and a fullness that showcases what makes Edna Valley white wines unique. Alcohol 14.3%."
