Light, transparent lemon color (surprisingly light compared to the palate). Strong aromas of wet wild grass, grapefruit, citrus blossoms, an hint of camphor and wet river rocks. Medium + body cut with very high acidity. Loads of grapefruit and citrus, spicy chinook or cascade hops reminiscent of friulano, grass and a dry mineral note. If I had tasted blind I may have guessed friulano, this speaks strongly of Friuli. The body and acidity will keep developing for a few more years but this is in a seriously good spot now.

More distinctly floral than I remember other recent vintages. Even as the price has gone up on this, it still overdelivers for value.

Unique wine with a sense of place. Price doesn’t match the quality (at least for purchasing it in Denver).
