Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 26, 2017 - Started fizzy upon pulling the cork. Thirty minute decant fixed that problem. Drank a couple of glasses and put the rest back into the fridge. Wine lost nothing for day two.
Nose of light tropical fruit including a some pineapple and melon, but also minerals and savory notes as well -- maybe filberts or cashews. Interesting, complex nose, with salinity mixing with sweetness.
On the palate the fruit and acid are in total balance. This is not fruit forward. In fact nothing leaps to the front, rather, the flavors dance together presenting a unified front of stone fruit, minerality, acid and savory characteristics.
Excellent for me, but not exactly my wife's preferred profile, as she prefers a sweeter, fruitier approach.
