The 2021 Mountain Blanco is balsamic, herbal and minty, quite expressive and not excessively varietal. Harvest was early—they started the 16th of August—and cropped from a very warm year that delivered low yields. The wine has 13.5% alcohol and a low pH that makes it quite balanced and fresh. It's still very young and a little reductive, but it was very recently bottled and that's normal for a wine that matures exclusively in stainless steel. It has a round palate with marked flavors and a faint bitter twist in the finish. 12,011 bottles were filled in July 2022. It's still closed and will be better with one more year in bottle.
