Tart citrus peel and oyster shell minerality dominate, but the wine feels pinched and compressed through the mid-palate. There's a skeletal quality that reads more as underripeness than coastal restraint. The finish tapers quickly, leaving little impression of Zephyr Farms' typically expressive character.
