  Thought this was pretty good. Looks like I'm going to see some variation of grapefruit, and judge accordingly. The general structure and acid has been consistent. One thing is clear, I liked the 2014 better, and Jane agrees. It is still a very nice summer wine, especially with gazpacho, tomatoes, corn on the cob, and a hidden gem.

  I absolutely adored the 2014. It was our WOTY white, we drank 2+ cases. So we loaded up again, and...horror of horrors for me, it's full of grapefruit. The one distinct flavor note I simply can't abide when it dominates like this. I'm heartbroken. In every other respect it is a fabulous wine; beautifull composed with crisp acid, and should be another summer quaffer. For Jane. Bummer! Now why I was put off tonight and not earlier, I can't address. Weird.

  We drank a few cases of the 14 after discovering it last summer, so why not get this season started with the new vintage? This is the greatest Summer quaffer ever! Yeah, I'm 6 weeks too early. But the point is this wine is so good, why limit the time of year to drink it? Peach!! And honey dew. We like to drink it just a bit colder than Chardonnay. It's really an interesting domestic offering.
