Turning Tide 2021 Picpoul ~ 93pts
TURNING TIDE 2021 PICPOUL, HAPPY CANYON SANTA BARBARA
At first, this affordable bottling from a warmer corner of the region is quite austere, with aromas of glacial wash and tight citrus blossom. It then opens a touch more toward yuzu peel and crisp pear. The palate is cut by citrus peel and a stony, oyster-shell minerality. Broader white-melon flavor consumes the midpalate.
