Community Tasting Note

tomherer Does not like this wine:

Thursday, July 3, 2014 - Had this in the downtown SB tasting room yesterday. Really seems like a botched effort. Have very much enjoyed prior Rivieras, but the attack on this one is sickly sweet. Was told that it starts sweet, but finishes dry, and there's no RS. There may not be any RS, but there's not really a finish either. Ends abruptly and presents no balancing elements. Not something to reach for on a hot day, and honestly something that could blend into the pack in a blind tasting of boxed white zins. To be avoided, and the first Margerum wine out of dozens that I haven't enjoyed.
