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.

Cam Confidential
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.

Great White
As always this GV is a wonderful white wine, I am usually a red drinker but this is right up there. A great value.

Hit the spot!
Really enjoyable. I tend to favor Austrian and German whites, and this was a great American version.

Pleasurable Wine
I have purchased this wine multiple times and it is my opinion that it is close to the best ever deal that Cam has offered. I have introduced it to many people with favorable results.

Wonderful, surprising American GV
I've never tried a GV that's not from Austria, so this was a risk, but I trusted the CH name. I was rewarded with a bright, crisp wine that's very refreshing.

What a pleasant surprise
We are not huge white wine drinkers, but the price and our curiosity got the best of us, and we are glad it did. It was light and crisp, not to acidic, not to sweet. We enjoyed it with cheese, but it seems like it would be great with many other things too.

Interesting, pleasant surprise
I think this is my first tasting of American style Gruner, and I was surprised at the roundness of it. Reminds me somewhat of Northern California marsanne. Perfectly drinkable, and a nice accompaniment for winter menu fish or chicken.

Not Austria But Delicious
Described as "crisp" but in my opinion pretty round. Characteristic of more like a steel chard. Pairs great with soft cheeses and savory crackers. Have spent some time in Austria and applaud the effort for sure. Happy this one!
