Community Tasting Note

April 9, 2013 - Served at cool room temperature, consumed over 1 hour. My experience seems different than most of the other notes here - our bottle had strong vegetal notes of green chile peppers and just a background hint of honeydew melon. Decent acidity and doesn't seem badly made, per se, but I couldn't get past the greenness here.

I have given this wine high ratings and agree it is not so good at cool room temperature. I bought a case and have tried this wine with different foods and different temperatures.
If you get a chance, try it cold (<40F) and with seafood. I really like it under these conditions and at a price of $13. -

P.S. Margerum's 2011 Sybarite is the best SB I've had in a while. It's just a tad more expensive, but it's worth checking out.
