9.1

Warm nose with chocolate notes, clove, nutmeg, and coffee. Hazelnut brownie; earthy mushroom. Tart raspberry surprise inside, with licorice, cedar, bitter arabica and sharp tobacco notes, rosemary, tart bing and rich, ripe black cherry. Oak adding cinnamon and a ghost of vanilla. Peppercorn.

Earthy currant and dusty blackberry, eucalyptus and whispers of mint on the nose. Peppery currants and thyme on the palate with lavender and mint. Structured despite age and caper with black olive shining. .

White gold to light straw. Faintest sweet propane note shows grapefruit peel and green apple, flinty and broken rocks, lemon oils, lime pith and cold fat. Rich lemon juiciness with zest of lime, salted lemon, white grapefruit. Citrus rich fruitiness booms, but finish of chalky and dry grapefruit pith brings a refreshing salivation, instantly and stunningly impressive.

Nubby, hoary, and frosty-frothy atop a pear jelly colored beer. Cave croc lacings; ascendant fossils and leaping dolphin. Gloriously seductive nose pulls you in for closer juicings. Clean citrus fruits on stainless steel. Lithe tangerine, lemon and lime zest, grapefruit candy, orange jessamine, Douglas fir, crystalline citrus honey. Floral component carries onto the palate, with a zesty-pith overall creating intensely bright flavors. Dried pineapple, orange, lemon, lime, salty lemon, tartaric textures, buzzy lemon peel finish. Great summery session-y number. .

9.2

Lovely pale gold with lightest silver green. Big nose of full throttle gooseberry, cooked lemon, grilled grapefruit and gardenia. Round, full mouthfeel turns lean in a citric instant as it pivots deftly to lemon pith, grapefruit peel, ginger, lemongrass and tart lime, with secret tangelo intentions. Juicy and abundant, but lively and bracing in a way that keeps it focused. Impressive Sauvignon Blanc from Napa. .
