  June 8, 2023 - Pale yellow in color. Nose of pear, orange blossom, peach, and honeysuckle. Second nose opens up with more of the same, lemon sorbet, pineapple, and minerality. Light with a tart finish. Flavors of lemon and pineapple.

  July 10, 2022 - More floral than in previous years, with a lighter dose of fruit and petrol. Acidity is good, and most people might like the meringue. I find this wine has lost some of its pizazz of the 2010-2015 era. It’s appropriately priced at $27 (at my local Whole Foods!) but for $5 more you could have a full-throttle, far more interesting Massican.

  July 1, 2022 - This wine is pale lemon in color with medium citrus aromas and some floral notes. On the palate, medium intensity lemon and apple notes. The wine has bright acidity and paired well with salmon cakes.

  June 6, 2022 - Clear, light crispy yellow, leads to smells of citrus, flowers and summer grass. Slightly delicate but layered flavors of honeydew melon, tangy green apple, and dried lemon. Super balanced with mouthwatering acidity. Very pleasant and very nice on a warm summer evening.
