Tasted at Mandarin Oriental Hotel DC. Crisp, tart not over-oaked, more typical of Central Coast. Primary flavors quince, apple, pear. Finish is 20 seconds, very good for a wine at this price point

Believe this to be too young still... Bouquet: High acids, low butter, watercress, notes of cut grass with a lingering salty rhubarb finish. Palate: Mid tart, salty finish, clean front and upper palate, soft tones of celery, thyme and hay.

I had this after it had been opened for about 20 hours. This was smokey, but not too smokey and had nice density to it. Wasn't expecting much from this, but thought it showed pretty nicely. Had some flinty aspects to the palate with nice acidity on the finish.
