Friday, September 3, 2010 - Yeasty tones and coffee beans introduce the aroma, followed by mixed floral tones and a hint of exotic wood. There are some green apples and Asian pears that give it freshness, and some firm mineral tones as well.

This wine immediately comes across as being very clean. There is a clear mineral water component, and it almost has hints of tonic mixed with crushed seashells or river rocks. It’s actually quite impressive, with a faint leafy quality, some lemon pith, and a faint coffee bean flavor around the edges. This is a clearly Old World styled wine, and it’s very dry and crisp, while still remaining big and mouth filling. It’s quite an impressive, interesting wine, and probably an amazing accompaniment to oysters on the half shell.
