Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 21, 2014 - Color: Pale straw.

Nose: Electric---you can immediately smell the tension between tart lemony acid and honeyed peach sweetness. There's also a strong spine of rocky mineral and a faint dusty/leathery/earth character. No petrol or sponti notes to speak of. Fresh, pure, and clean.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, lively and with some extract.

Palate: Pretty much exactly what the nose foretold. Absolutely delicious, with a pure honeyed sweetness perfectly balanced against the fierce lemon-lime acidic structure. Vibrates with energy. The finish is long and lipsmacking, extending the sweet-acid combo long after you swallow. This is where the mineral comes through as well, adding a subtle savory dimension to the afterglow.

What a delightful bottle of wine. Energetic, balanced, nuanced, and most of all insanely delicious. Tremendous value. Great labels these guys have, too.
