WineSaint
Lime blossom, wet slate, and a signature thread of Morstein smoke lift from the glass with quiet intensity. Citrus oils and chalky minerality are wound tight on the palate, the acidity firm and unrelenting, precision evident in every element. This is a GG that hasn't opened up yet, give it five years at minimum to find its stride.
