Other Reviews....
Quarry dust, bruised apple skin, zesty fresh lemon and flowering rosemary penetrate the nostrils. Stony, alkaline components on the firm palate are rather hard-edged, but there is a compensatory abundance of bright lemon and apple juiciness as well as a mouthwatering suffusion of mineral salts. The finish is strikingly penetrating and persistent, featuring lemon peel, rosemary, salt and stone. This is a Keller Hubacker of unusual animation and transparency. I’ll be very surprised if it does not significantly outlive its 2015 counterpart, not to mention prove consistently more fun to drink.

Rich, generous and concentrated as Keller's wines from this site always are. The subtle earthy touch fits beautifully, and this carries the finish every bit as much as the acidity. Drink now.

High toned and smoky with peachy undertones and marked freshness – especially on the finish. Grapefruit-peel acid and texture (tangy bitterness). Like a tightly coiled spring. Very long indeed. And just so much packed in for future development…
