Interesting. Pale yellow. Diesel fuel, and some new mown hay. Moderately sweet, ripe golden delicious apple, muscadine grapes, some citrus, reasonable tartness, but a little too much residual sugar for my tastes. Not my thing.

I liked this better when it was younger. Subtle grapefruit, a whiff of kerosene , and some orange peel. Much better at cellar temperature. Glycerine , apricot pit, mineral , and modest residual sugar, with decent finish .

Some Syrahs on a Saturday afternoon (Loretta Paganini School fo Cooking): This is starting to show some age. The nose has minerals and some very slight fruit to it. Nothing like this had in its youth. Slightly oily texture. Complex and interesting. Mineral driven. I would be drinking these up soon though.

Better on second day. No formal notes, but a warm climate SB that shows more toward lemon curd than grapefruit. Maybe my palate is changing, but it liked this more in the past. Your mileage may vary

No formal notes, but delicious. The fruit screams CA, but there is enough citrus tang to keep it refreshing.
