Buccella Tasting (Napa): An extremely inviting SB, with a good delineation of flavors and no hard edges to speak of. More on the tropical fruit side, but not overtly sweet or overbearing. No alkaline or steely metallic flavors to distract from the beautiful core fruit. Aging in neutral oak has created a caressing, rounded finish. No bite or pucker factor. Coats the palate and still remains fresh and crisp.
92-93 points.

Clear and pale yellow. Fresh nose with white apricot and peaches as well as a touch of minerality. A little white floral notes as well. Crist acidity (7/10) and well balanced. A pinch of sweetness but lots of layers, wet riverstones, white fruits, and stone fruits. Low plus body but with a long finish. Very enjoyable. Drink till 2020. (92+)

Similar notes as Sep 2017 tasting. A great match with spicy Chinese food.

Crisp fruit in the nose and flavor with pears and pineapples. A good food wine and nicely balanced.
