funky salty Brie cheese on the nose, medium acid, salty cheese and peaches on the palate. Beautiful wine. Peaches n cheese. Really good and unique. A little higher acid would be nice.

Discovering Italian Wine @ the Texas Wine School. Med yellow with a green hue. Crisp, clean, med nose of white flowers, stone fruit, ripe citrus, wet stone. All stainless steel. The palate is dry, crisp, with med (+) acidity and alcohol (13.5%) and a nice stony minerality on the finish. Still drinking well at 5 years, this Fiano is ageworthy yet lacks some of the intensity of prior years.

Medium lemon colour. Medium nose with apricot, honey melon, mushrooms and acacia honey. Taste of yellow apples, honey melon, honey, apricots, salt and minerals. Medium long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium (+) body with pronounced flavour. Lacks some fruit in the middle part, probably over the top. A good quality wine. Goes well with basic fish or shellfish.

Winebar [4 Whites & 8 Reds] from 3/2/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “Immediately following harvest (early to mid-Oct), grapes are de-stemmed & undergo a gentle press followed by cold settling at 57˚F for 24-48 hrs. Fermented in s/s @ 61-64˚F; No malolactic fermentation; Aged 3 mos in s/s on the lees with an additional month in bottle prior to release; 33,333 cases bottled 5/1/16. 13.50% ABV;”
N: Minerals slightly atop lemons, pineapples with air?
P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt met by TANGY acidity which directs the wine all the way through the LONG, ult tangy/swt (85:15) with the barest HINT of honey. Could improve for 3-6 mos, then drink through '20 easily. My EXC-/EXC; [As of late Jan '20, this is apparently no longer available @ retail].

Fairly light and neutral but very clean/fresh. Minerals driven with distant citrus and melon. Slight dustiness on the finish. Not overly complex but nice.

Light yellow in the glass; somewhat neutral on the nose.
Crisp, bone dry and with good supporting acidity - great wine to pair with grilled seafood (and I will do just that later today). Has some complexity as well - this is not just a summer sipper.

Salt and chalk on the nose. A touch almond and earthy on the nose.

Clean, crisp, and dry, with an edge of mineral and notes of citrus and stone fruit. Very well balanced. Not overly complex, but delicious.

Easy going, charming white that goes really well with variety of antipasti, a bit reticent on the nose, but cleansing your palate thoroughly.
