Community Tasting Note

wondersofwine Likes this wine:

Friday, June 26, 2015 - Labeled as 12.5% alcohol by volume. Mid-gold color with clarity. It presents the first evening as a bit too acidic, with citrus notes on the nose and palate. Exhibits purity of fruit. I like it better the second evening when the acid seems more in balance and I am made aware of some salinity and a strong mineral note--rocks and/or steel. I paired it with battered fried fish and another evening with pork egg rolls. It is also suitable for shellfish or other fish as well as chicken or pork dishes. Vegetarians might consider pairing it with asparagus or zucchini dishes. I'm keeping two more bottles back for a church fundraiser in late August. On the first evening I would have given this wine 87 or 88 points but on the second evening I would have upped that to 89 or 90 points
