  A freshness to the bottle. Feisty fruit, apple, pear a little citrus. Good balance. A touch on the lighter side. Fun drinking would be a great summer wine.

  It is a great BTG at home on a weekend early evening. A nice one that drinks above its price range for daily drinks. Pretty consistent with my previous notes: lemon and floral on the nose, lemon and peach (lower than before) on the palate. Great minerals tasting. I would note that the balance (per another TN) is usually getting 'stabilized' after 10 minutes or so in the glass.
  ~90 this time

  Melon, nice body, finish a bit out of balance or would rate higher.

  Opened for friends and fellows for dinner @ Shaya in NOLA. Great QPR, refreshing, the best match for a nice summer meal with friends. Drinks well above its price range. Consistent with the previous tasting notes from mid May.

  A steal QPR, opened to enjoy a late afternoon/evening spring. Very little Grenache Blanc experience, this one was a pleasant and pleasing bottle- on the nose- you can virtually feel the 'sea' (if it makes sense). Some oak notes on the nose and palate. On the palate (stonger than the nose, thought it was there as well (lemon, peach, some lime as well ). On the dry side for the finish. Great golden color/bright gold. Enjoyable minerals on the taste.
  
  Overall, worked well with light tuna salad, small seafood plate, and enjoyed by all participants (And the house). Vote by the bottle: first bottle to be finished. At the price range, great find. Too bad I am now down to one bottle left. Drink this season (not for aging)
