Very pale maize color. There is little here on either the nose or the palate- some very weak aromas of citrus fruit, with the same in the mouth. This is extremely dilute, feeling less potent than ice water with a squeeze of lemon. There's a residually bitter note. Not good for much beyond washing down something very spicy. Weak showing, really disappointing.

Second Sunday Group: 2012 Napa Cabernets (Rich's & Dana's): Cottony, billowy white fruit notes with hints of minerality underneath. Nice acidity. Simple, but pleasant. I, and a few others, thought Pinot Gris but one taster nailed this as GV.

A step up from recent vintages, this offers medium-high intensity aromatics with touches sulphur that give way to mineral, orchard fruit, citrus, and green apple notes. It's medium-bodied with delicate acids and very nice aroma replays. Well-balanced and finishing long.
