I find it funny too, there is no agreed-on description of what a mineral quality is in wine, and even a bit of pseudoscience around regarding “tasting the minerals in the terroir.”

Personally I think of minerality as the absence of fruit or vegetable note.

Everyone likes oak on their wines to some degree no matter how hard they virtue signal to the contrary.

Trying to make “low alcohol” still wines (less than 13% alcohol) in California is a Quixotic pursuit that yields inferior results in almost every case.

Heavy on zero dosage part. They can use 2-4gr of sugar without spoiling the terroir expression or whatever the winemaker wants. Meant to be drink young but many times they don’t have enough fruit to backup the lack of dosage.
