Wine Details
Opens with lovely nose of sweet, ripe lemon blossom and white peach notes underpinned with apricot, melon and orange marmalade notes. Fleshy and round on entry, but amply structured around a pretty, schisty minerality that leads to a clean, pure, tangerine driven finish with a kiss of white pepper. An incredibly versatile wine, feel confident serving this as an aperitif on its own or pairing it wine with anything from cheese, roasted chicken, and pork to seafood and spicy Asian cuisine.

A crisp and dry white wine with origins in Austria, Gruner is known for its food pairing versatility and refreshing acidity. It's rarely planted outside of Austria, but California’s Clarksburg AVA features a microclimate and alluvial/riverbed soil structure perfect for growing this varietal – cool maritime breezes from the bay make for warm summer days and cool evenings usually about 10 degrees lower than Napa Valley just to the north. Produced by a family owned winery in Clarksburg dating back to the early 1900s, Lot 635 is fermented in stainless steel and aged on light lees for texture – a delicious Californian expression of an Austrian classic.

Average to hood
My benchmark is Austria’s Huber Terrassen GV. So this one is about the ssme price point but is less acid for food friendliness and has a perceived sweetness I don’t care for. I have 2 more to confirm this review.

Welcome to America!
This wine really surprised me. It's like a middle point between Riesling and Gewurztraminer. Here's the thing: I'm not that fond of those two wines, but I really like this one. Goes with everything and is priced well.

A winner - smooth for a white
Usually a red wine drinker (& not fond of minerality) , this one's a winner -- unusually smooth.

Perfectly Light Summer Sip
This is a lovely, light white that works well with summery dishes and appetizers. The price makes it exceptional when serving larger groups. I’m ordering again.

Every bit the Austrian grape!
I lived in Scotland for 35 years. It was cheaper and easier to get Gruner Veltliner. For me, this is as good a representation as I have ever tasted. Goes with anything.

Just not a big fan
We had it wit a light lunch, and it was just okay, not something that I would buy again.just seemed like a generic white wine.
