With Sunday night sushi. The bottle opens to a palate of peaches, green grass, river tocks, straw hints of pear and a touch of dried spice. A really nice SB.

Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (R&D’s): Double blind. Pale color opening with notes of citrus and wood spice with grassy overtones. Full-bodied and showing a good bit of barrel influence at this point. With air the fruit took on a diminished profile and the oak became the more dominant quality. While I initially thought sauv blanc, by the time it came to unveil I wasn’t so sure.

so different from NZ style - fruit but dry finish, long finish with mineral and some acidity, lovely mouthfeel, well integrated, complex.Will try again in 6 months.

Apple, caramel complexity when opened up - this wine needs 45 minutes to open, but exquisite once it does
