Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 3, 2021 - Day-1 = 88
Day-2 = 88
Pale lemon with legs quickly turning to droplets on the glass. Diamond clearness.
It is clean with a medium intensity. Pine needles overpower the beginning and then fade to tones of cannabis, minerality and lemon. There is also a hint of campfire and vanilla.
The palate shows off-dry, high acid, medium body with lemon zest and grapefruit upfront and heat alcohol on the way down. Slight petrol and switchgrass...
Finish = 22seconds, the blast of tart fruit, fading quickly, indicates youth
Tasted with a NY brie-style cheese and cacao infused shortbread. It went very well with these on their own but not very good when all combined. Also tried it with a NY Gouda/Cheddar/Truffle chees but this was not a very good complement to the Rkatsiteli.
This is an interesting varietal, apparently the oldest in the world, that is reminiscent of a French Chenin Blanc.
