Pretty solid. Acidity has held up well. Nose lemon zest, stone, hay. Taste is very bright lemon, pear. A nice sparkle. A pretty simple wine but quality is there. Day two the acidity has fallen off a cliff... not good.

I liked this a little better on night two but generally a nice wine at this point. A bit of sour cherry, good acid. Some green bite on the nose, whether stems or like a menthol/mint thing. Went well with pork.

There was not much on the nose. Picked up a butterscotch flavor on the pallate which is not what I am looking for. Did get better with more time in the glass but not enough. Scored 5th out of 8 wines for group.

Opened at Boulder with dinner on the patio. Consistent note as prior bottles. Still drinking well.
