I hardly drink any whites from the US anymore but this is pretty good and interesting. A slight whiff of diesel on the nose that fades with air. Some floral notes too. On the palate the wine is soft textured but then finishes with crisp acidity. Some pear, melon and blanched almond.

Tercero Dinner #2 in the OC with Larry Schaffer (A Restaurant In Newport Beach, CA): Similar to the 2009 with the diesel/petrol note, although lighter in aromatic volume than the 2009. I find more citrus and acidity here compared to the 2009, with the melon notes leaner and more focused, too. Acidity is very present. Shows the signature of the vintage.

Wow! Intense nose and flavors. Grapefruit and wet stones, white flowers. All kinds of sensations. Terrific acidity too. 1/2 bottle for tomorrow. Delicious stuff!

White cheese, hot dog, flowers, hint of green apple, dynamite mouth feel and some great acid.
