1. This is the 2'nd Troon wine I've tried, the other being a white Rhone blend. They are a "natural" wine producer, I believe, but their wines have been clean as a whistle and show no natty character whatsoever. This wine was showing a lot of mature character for such a young VM.

Troon is a winery I keep reading about but have yet to try their wines. Should get around to that. Also need to check a map to find out where the Applegate Valley is. I should know it.

Troon isn't "natural" but they are very focused on being good stewards of the land (biodynamics, regenerative agriculture) and minimalist in their winemaking. They do use sulfur though, so not going to win any Natural Wine Awards.

Yeah, David....at least not from SweetAlice.
There are some who do call themselves "natural" but do use (minimal) SO2..usually at bottling.
