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.

Wife's goto wine
If your rating allowed it, I'd give it a 4.5. It a consistently good, not too sweet, fruity, wine that my wife prefers to Chardonney, and some sour Sauvignon or Chenin Blancs.

Perfect light white
Light fruity aroma with a satisfying taste and slighly mineral finish. Goes great with any cheese.

a nice Gruner
Multiple fruit flavors result in a pleasant Gruner. The minerality and pepper results in a slight bitter finish.

A “Not too sweet” German Wine
I bought this to try, thinking it may be too sweet. Much to my surprise, it delivered a pleasant experience. Not my favorite, but certainly worth a try.

Great wine!
I've ordered this a few times and have loved it every time. Nice, crisp and something different than the normal pinot grigio or sauv blanc. Really enjoyed.

Shellfish!!
We love this wine... Reminds us of Pinot Blanc. This is the perfect crisp wine for oysters, smoked mussels or cherrystones. Mild yet crisp when paired with such fairs. Good price point also.

Good, not oustanding
This was not a bad bottle - probably would give it 3 1/2, but that's not an option. Nothing really to set this apart from other wines. A very mild, maybe too mild, with not a lot of character. Next time (and I probably would buy it again to have it on the rack), I wouldn't chill it any more out of the cellar. Or if in had it in the fridge, is take it out and let it sit open in room temperature for 15 - 30 minutes.

A Great White Wine
This is one of my favorites from Cameron Hughes and a great price for a well balanced white wine.
