"The 2023 Melon is bright, aromatic and quite floral. Jasmine, lime, mint and crushed rocks all race across the palate. This light-bodied, intensely mineral, aromatic, dry white is pure joy."

"The last vintage of this wine to be sourced from Bien Nacido Vineyard, the 2023 Melon is bright, floral and oceanic on the nose. The palate is soft and easygoing yet crisp and lively, gaining refreshing tension on the clean, pure finish."
