May 20, 2019 - Golden-straw color. Lemon-Kumquat citrus and minerals on the nose and palate. Silky with good acidity, balance, and long-slightly tart finish. Minerality really improved with cellar aging. Delicious!

December 1, 2018 - This has all the signs of a great white. Great nose, full of citrus, flowers and stone fruits. On the palate it is ripe, with medium weight and matching acidity. Had I had it by itself, I could've confused it with premier cru Chassagne. We had it next to a Drouhin Folatieres which just knocked it out. Rita's finish is shorter.
