 Tasted by qcwino on 10/15/2017: Ripe yellow apple, some pineapple as it comes to room temp. Star anise, hint of cinnamon. Really fun wine. (2150 views)
 Tasted by biggie on 9/9/2017 & rated 89 points: Cant be much more 'Italian" than this! Crisp, clean but with a touch of saline and floral on the nose. Drink now (2102 views)
 Tasted by skurtz on 8/22/2017 & rated 91 points: Floral lemon zest nose. On the palate a very round mouthfeel, with melon, lingering glycerine and citrus on the finish. Great value for a summer wine! (2166 views)
 Tasted by RajivAyyangar on 6/3/2017 flawed bottle: Impromptu chicken and pesto (Tim's, SF): corked (2646 views)
 Tasted by skurtz on 5/14/2017 & rated 90 points: Faint nose of honeysuckle, citrus. On the palate there is a lot of glycierine roundness, oranges, meyer lemons. Hint of sweetness although this is a dry white. More round than crisp, which I like. Unusual and tasty.

On day two, a more musty yeasty nose, and the flavor profile is fleshy peach, again with enough acid to offset the sense of sweetness. (2339 views)
 Tasted by depechemoroder on 5/8/2017 & rated 88 points: Very interesting, combining freshness with weight and complexity. Fleshy yellow fruits and citrus with something akin to burned spun sugar. There are nods to sherry here, but not in an oxidised way. Rustic and full of character, it's excellent with a variety of dishes. (789 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/8/2017: Man do I love that smell. Can't put my finger on it - like roasted oranges or something. And the palate is dynamic and lovely. Bill notes indian spices - onions and cumin he says. And I can see that. (1196 views)
 Tasted by BBerzin on 4/23/2017 & rated 92 points: Spectacular. May prefer it to the rusticum. (860 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/23/2017: God that is so good. Killer this year. This vintage in particular is a fresh direct expression. Tangerine and orange but they prefer amber because its a living color. (806 views)
