| Verdict | Vanilla and a light toasted oak, then a creamy sip that turns toward toast. The finish lingers. The profile is Chardonnay by texture and oak, not by fruit. | Dealcoholized Roussanne and Colombard. Pear, green apple, and citrus peel. Fresh, lightly rounded, moderately acidic, with a tart citrus close. | Research record | Missing Thorn's Still White is a dealcoholized Napa Albariño: lychee, passionfruit and citrus over a crisp, light frame, <0.5% ABV. |

| Likeness | Vanilla, a creamy texture, and toasted oak are familiar Chardonnay cues, and they hold together as a style. The likeness is in that oak-and-cream profile, not in fruit. | It drinks as a fresh white of pear and green apple. The roundness is gentle. The close is tart peel, not juice. | Research record | Albariño in the aroma, which is the hard part: lychee, passionfruit, and a citrus lift. The palate is zesty and light, and the acid does the structural work. The grape carries through a short citric close. Specific, and slender. |
