A blend of young mangos and apricots is complemented by hints of chamomile, sweet butter and confectioner’s spice as the 2022 Aerialist WeatherEye Vineyard comes to life in the glass. This splashes across the palate, wonderfully fresh and pure with mineral-inflected white pit fruits and hints of savory spice. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, crisp and long and also classically dry with a floral resonance that lingers.

Points

Another rockingly good white in the making, the 2022 The Aerialist is mostly Roussanne yet includes 30% Marsanne. It has terrific aromatics of ripe lime and pineapple with a kiss of background bitter green almond and subtle mineral-like aromas and flavors. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and vibrant, with a great finish, it's beautiful stuff.
