2022 Muret-Gaston Blanc
Clean and freshwith aromas of wildflower honey, white flowers and orange blossoms followed by flavors of lemon, pear and honeysuckle with a saline minerality.
Muret-Gaston 2022 Blanc
A beautiful nose with peachy notes, compounded by petrichor and fresh notes of marzipan, lemon drop, and beeswax, defines the 2022 Blanc. The nose seems spicy and softly leesy. Light to medium-bodied, the wine shows amazing texture and weight with a leesy phenolic bitterness and surprising mineral tension. The wine is acid-driven with a succulent finish that brings me back for another sip. Very pleasurable and delightful, it has me craving hard cheeses.

Other notes
2021 ws a relatively warm year for Washington with a significantly smaller crop than average. Bud break began in mid-April, well aligned with historical averages. June through August saw several periods of intense heat which resulted in lower yeilds but overall quality remained high.
